I'd like to force it on for "bundle".  I'm not sure whether bundles will
display reasonably in console windows, though.

I'm not entirely comfortable with reusing "exact" to indicate "binary".
 It reminds me of the old Transport UI where 'rb' produced a bytstring
file and 'r' produced a Unicode file.

Perhaps 'exact-binary' makes sense.  Or maybe just making bundles
indicate newline type.

I think it's reasonable to support '-' for reading bundles from stdin.
