I don't know of it either. Frank Harrell's references for binconf are
A. Agresti and B.A. Coull, Approximate is better than "exact" for
interval estimation of binomial proportions, American
Statistician, 52:119-126, 1998.
R.G. Newcombe, Logit confidence intervals and the inverse sinh
transformation, American Statistician, 55:200-202, 2001.
L.D. Brown, T.T. Cai and A. DasGupta, Interval estimation for a
binomial proportion (with discussion), Statistical Science,
16:101-133, 2001.
and there is another paper by the last set of authors
