This is great, but can we do it for Awk too?

    $ printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk 1 | od -tcx1
    0000000   h   e   l   l   o       w   o   r   l   d  \n

Currently you have to make this awful incantation:

    $ unset POSIXLY_CORRECT
    $ printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk -vBINMODE=1 1 | od -tcx1
    0000000   h   e   l   l   o       w   o   r   l   d  \r  \n
             68  65  6c  6c  6f  20  77  6f  72  6c  64  0d  0a

BINMODE only gets parsed on the command line; it is not recognized even in the
BEGIN section. This makes it impossible to write portable Awk scripts with
respect to carriage returns.
