Nim opens files always in binary mode. Standard library functions like e.g. `splitLines` cope with all kinds of line endings, you don't have to worry about that. So basically you can use strings just as binary blobs but it's recommended to use `seq[byte]` for them instead([https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/3173#20096)](https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/3173#20096\)). You can convert strings to `seq[byte]` by using `cast[seq[byte]](myString)`. I don't know if this behavior is guaranteed somewhere, I just picked it up from Nim code by others(it probably won't work when compiling to JS or when using Nimscript).
