into binary behavior is surprising #3414
Description
Describe the bug
I wanted to dump the first bytes of a PNG file using cat myimage.png | into binary -b 100 but got a table instead of a binary view.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
cat myimage.png | into binary -b 100
Expected behavior
I expected an output like this:
Length: 140 (0x8c) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
