I don't have any specific suggestions here, but it would be good when
deciding the heuristic to take a bunch of non-english text files
(esp. CJK in various encodings) and try to make sure they aren't
always seen as binary.

Extremely long lines also needs some judgement, because of people who
create text files where they use a newline per paragraph.

Just a couple things to keep aware of.
