| It would be nice to at least soften the harm from this trap. However, I do not know a specific change to suggest. It is probably impossible to detect a binary file except by trying to parse it. However, maybe we should do something special if there are tons of scanner errors? Or, maybe the error-printing routine should check for "control" characters and print '?' characters instead? |
