Subject: Something that corresponds to Perl's -T and -B tests?

I've searched the Ruby documentation, and I can't find descriptions of
anything that corresponds to Perl's `-T' and `-B' tests ... these test
whether a file contains ASCII text or "binary" data, respectively.

I'm happy to write such a test myself in Ruby and then post it here, and
I can easily do so.  But I prefer not to re-invent the wheel, so does
anyone know of such a thing that already might have been written, or
which I might have missed in my search through the docs?

Thank you very much in advance.
