It's not, though.  "Multibyte" (more precisely, "variable width")
refers to the representation of integers in the buffer.  "Binary"
refers to the fact that the sequence of characters in the buffer
(interpreted as abstract non-negative integers) is exactly the same as
the sequence of bytes (again, considered as abstract non-negative
integers) in the source.
