Re: [TCLCORE] CFV TIP #699: Eliminate encoding alias "binary"...

[Harald O. <har...@el...>]

Vote: TIP 699: yes

I can understand, that it feels a) "surprisingly unclear" and b) hard 
for backward compatibility.

But TCL 9.0 is made to clarify things. This is clarified. "Binary 
encoding" = "iso8859-1". We should not make compromises here.
And for backward compatibility, there is "open $f b" or "fconfigure 
-translation binary". Both were always the better choice. Only for the 
rare care, where the translation or eof-char should not be in the binary 
position, there is a change (e.g. specify "-encoding iso8859-1" instead 
"-encoding binary".

Thank you for the work,
Harald
