Now that we've moved away from the C stdio model, and the distinction between text and binary streams is meaningful even on POSIX systems, perhaps we should also change those names to reflect that difference from C.
I don't think anything would be gained by changing these well-established and widely-understood names just because of such an obscure and pedantic detail.
