1) It shares with other our file domains problem of old-fashioned
interface: clumsy and poor fit to modern systems
2) For binary files one really wants block transfers, but BinaryFile
only supported single-byte transfers
3) I did not work at all
Due to 1) and 2) IMO trying to fix BinaryFile made no sense.
