You're suggesting that Libbio for Windows should be consistent with
itself and not the underlying environment. It's a subjective call,
but it makes sense in that only new code would use Libbio.
However, the programmer would have to jump through flaming hoops
to manage all files, as it can't be predicted which variety is
going to be encountered. If the library can simplify this, I
believe it ought to. Binary mode restores sanity, if so desired.
It's that, or a complicated shim, re-invented by each user of
Libbio. At least in my opinion.
