I will take a look at this. It is a good suggestion and something will
be done unless there are unforseen problems.
Are there compatibility issues with old uses?
What about 5 for stderr.
It might be easier (and take less analysis) to simply add 6 and 7 for
binary versions of 4 and 5.
Joey and other console users: any comments on this?

Subject: [Jbeta] Stdout write in binary mode for windows
Now there is no way to emit binary data
using stdout. For example, this is important
for CGI binary output, such as images;
or if J is used as a slave process to return
binary data through the pipe, like task.
Is it possible in the upcoming release to
change the implementation of 1!:2&4
so that it uses binary mode instead of text mode?
If somebody needs to output CRLF in text for windows
it easy to do in J before calling the function
or use "echo" (1!:2&2) which could remain in text mode.
