Yes, this is counter-intuitive, but true. So when I work next time on
my program, I will assign the error to the library which uses "raw"
incorrectly (and assumes that -raw is the opposite of raw).

The "istrip" is the problem I encountered.

Yes, right. But IMHO not very logical, that negating does not negate
the individual flags, but rather sets a different set of flags. So
"negating" here means "putting a minus sign in front of it", not
"reversing its effect". Maybe the documentation could be updated?
So unless you disagree, I retitle it as wishlist to clarify the
documentation.
