Subject: [ruby-core:93915] [Ruby master Bug#12989] Passing `binmode: true` to `IO.pipe` makes `binmode?` return `true` but encoding is not binary

Issue #12989 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Here's an updated patch based on tenderlove's original patch that does not change the encoding of the returned IO objects if encoding arguments are given in addition to the `binmode` option. Is this acceptable?

Here is a sample program:

~~~ruby
Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8

reader, writer = IO.pipe(binmode: true)
reader.binmode?           # => true
reader.external_encoding  # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
writer.binmode?           # => true
writer.external_encoding  # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>

reader, writer = IO.pipe
reader.binmode
writer.binmode

reader.binmode?           # => true
reader.external_encoding  # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
writer.binmode?           # => true
writer.external_encoding  # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
~~~

I think that passing `binmode: true` to `IO.pipe` should behave the same way as calling `binmode` on each file.  Today, passing `binmode: true` to IO.pipe puts the files in a strange state: they are binary and not binary.

I've attached a patch to fix the problem.
