Good plan. I'll make a proposal to add System.IO.binary. A different type for binary handles is the right thing, but it's a larger undertaking so I don't plan to attack it right now (someone else is welcome to do so).
Isn't this also the purpose of the safer-file-handles package?
No, that puts the IOMode and region in the type, not the binary mode.
