        Does anybody know what the reason is for having binary messages
in st-80?  It seems to me that a binary message would simply be a special
case of message, and won't require making exceptions for.  This would also
simplify parsing.  So far I haven't found any situations where binary
messages differ from ordinary messages, other than in parsing.
