No, I'm not. GPATH should contain only text files.

But the present operation seems to be disunited.

        htags -o: skip binary files.
        global -[gP]o: doesn't skip binary files.

Obviously the global should skip binary files like the htags.
I think it is a bug.

I agree.

But we should discuss it as another theme.
For the first implementation, we had better use test("b", <path>)
function (libutil/test.c) to skip binary files as htags does.
