I don't mind either way.

Hm, on second thought, if people are seeing this message, I would
prefer if they write to the mailing list so we can find out about it.
So I really would rather see this say
--binary)
: ;;
and have "-b" completely unrecognized, without any words in our
defense except for a note in the release notes mentioning the option's
removal and that it has been an unadvertised backward-compatibility
no-op since 1.6.0.
