New submission from Armin Rigo:
``python3.5 --help`` gives this information:
-u : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr, stdin always buffered
However, stdout and stderr are actually always opened in text mode, and print()
always expects a string and never a bytes object. This usage of "binary" in
the --help is in contradiction with the usage of "binary" in the description of
files (e.g. ``help(open)``).
