> No. Closed as wontfix.

Why?  No reason given.  This is a reasonable request, which would improve
correspondence about bugs and user difficulties.

Users who are aware of the problem often have to manually excise such binary
codes and replace them with `...' or nothing.  Users who are unaware of the
problem can end up sending an incomplete backtrace.

This should at least be a wishlist item, IMO.  Or at least give a convincing
argument why the request is not appropriate.
