#1200: file->byte-blob can only read files in text mode on Windows

     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  minor       |  Milestone:  someday
Component:  extensions  |    Version:  4.9.x
 Keywords:  byte-blob   |
------------------------+---------------------
 On Windows, `file->byte-blob` defaults to reading files in text mode and
 there is no way to override this (as there is with `with-input-from-file`
 and related procedures). As a result, files intended to be binary data
 that contain `eof` bytes will be incomplete on Windows. Either a default
 to binary read mode or optional file mode parameters for `#:text` and
 `#:binary` would be helpful.
