   Would it be possible to either ignore binary files when "-l" is in
   affect.  OR to add an ignore binary file flag (like FreeBSD has in
   2.x and 3.x)?

The latter sounds reasonable, though it'd have to be spelled
differently from -a since -a is now taken.  Perhaps
--skip-binary-files, by analogy with the existing --directories=skip
option?
