For Paul's example, I suppose binary would work just fine, since he's
searching for ASCII and Emacs sources are probably over 95% ASCII.
And in *my* locale, the whole locale concept sucks becaues no matter
what locale I choose somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of the text (all
perfectly intelligible Japanese) will be unreadable according to that
locale.
The real world is stranger and more dangerous than you imagine.
