The doc for File.binwrite doesn't mention the possibility of a fourth argument (option hash), unlike File.write. Judging from the code, this looks like an oversight.
Can we get confirmation that it does accept a fourth parameter and that the doc should be updated?
I would personally simplify the rdoc to state that it File.binwrite does exactly the same as File.write except that it opens the file in binary mode.
For some reason, this bug report was never posted on the mailing list:
