avoid sending binary output to terminal

Hey,

One of the things in curl people have gotten annoyed about more than once
through-out the years, is the fact that curl sends everything to stdout by
default no matter what it is. Sending binary stuff to the terminal may lead to
unhappy faces.

I've started to work on code that checks for binary output to the terminal and
avoids it, unless told okay:

As always, comments and feedback are welcome!
