Yes, maybe we can implement a SplBinaryFileObject class. That would
have all those functions. Actually an interesting idea.

I see ... thanks for the quick reply. So is it fair to say, then, that
SplFileObject isn't suitable for reading a binary file?

Thanks again,

SplFileObject is a line iterator, that is it reads the next line on
current() and friends. Introducing fread would mean one would need to
cound the '\n's after reading some bytes. That said it would be ok to
read the remainder as from the object since then valid() would return
true and the number of lines wouldn't matter. An alternative would be
allowing to skip line counting. However right now fread() in its
current forma does not make sense.

Please forgive me if I'm missing something, but it seems as though
SplFileObject has most of the useful file functions except fread. 
Having that available would be Really Good™.

Thanks!
