It should be 'binary under our interface, 'no-conversion is the
equivalent under the Emacs/MULE interface.

I'm not in love with our names binary and no-conversion.  But
Emacs' no-conversion and emacs-mule for the same things are
worse.  emacs-mule conveys no information.  What we want is a
name that say that there is no coding system translation but
there is newline translation.  That should be the official
name and we can alias emacs-mule to it for the usual nod of
compatibility to FSF Emacs.
