I assume "--ignore-binary" or "--ignore-binary-files" would be the GNU
longopt.
Another possibility would be to follow the example of the existing
--directories=ACTION option, e.g. something like this:
--binary-files=ACTION how to handle binary files
ACTION is 'read', 'skip', or 'summarize' (default)
-I equivalent to --binary-files=skip
-a, --text equivalent to --binary-files=read
