There is one other discrepancy in Pascal: it specifies something for the
binary format as well:

 {"", "%", "b", ""},		/* Binary format info */

as opposed to C's

  {"", "", "", ""},		/* Binary format info */

Pascal appears to be the only language that uses something other than this
latter format for binary.
