BREAKING CHANGES: Binary detection output has changed slightly.

Lack of this alias was one of the things that put me off regarding ripgrep. I'm using the silver searcher instead as it is plenty fast and it's CLI makes sense for me and doesn't change, AFAIR it's even mostly the same as ack, which I used before.

loving '-.'. I use --hidden a lot.

also noteable, an underlying lib got some vectorization speed improvements.
