Are these actually orthogonal? I.e. can you have a "binary" dir, 
"string" dir, a "binary" link, a "string" link, etc, and is there any 
difference between "string" and "binary" in those cases?

If not, then I don't think splitting them is a good idea regardless of 
other concerns. If you do, you're introducing confusion as to what 
constitutes a valid combination of (regular,dir,link) and 
(string,binary) instead of simply enumerating all the valid 
combinations. IMHO that's a bad idea.
