gollark: Hmm. Well. I'd quite like to retain compatibility, so that's a bit irritating...
gollark: Does `write` in older versions accept a string too on binary files?
gollark: UPDATE: it works now since apparently I can still `readAll` and `write` strings in `wb`/`rb` mode for some reason.
gollark: I'm having some bizarre issues writing some binary data to files. I'll try and put together a bit of code to demonstrate this with, but basically it seems like `\13` bytes (carriage return) are being replaced with `\10` bytes (line feed). My code is using `"w"` and `"r"` modes instead of binary mode because according to the wiki binary mode doesn't let me use `readAll` and write a whole string; do I need binary mode and is there a way around reading/writing individual bytes for this?
gollark: Wait, an automatic nether portal? Won't that run out of flint and steel or something eventually?
