The standard input and output ports which current-input-port and current-output-port are initially bound to are not opened explicitly. They default to character ports. Should they be replaceable with equivalent binary ports using the following procedures?

It is an error to call either of these if the corresponding current-{input,output}-port is not the original value, or if any I/O has been performed on them, or if they cannot reasonably be treated as binary.

I am confused by this description, what are you suggesting?
