This is great, but can we do it for Awk too?
$ printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk 1 | od -tcx1
0000000 h e l l o w o r l d \n

Currently you have to make this awful incantation:
$ unset POSIXLY_CORRECT
$ printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk -vBINMODE=1 1 | od -tcx1
0000000 h e l l o w o r l d \r \n
68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64 0d 0a
BINMODE only gets parsed on the command line; it is not recognized even in the
BEGIN section. This makes it impossible to write portable Awk scripts with
respect to carriage returns.
