If you used emacs -nw exclusively for two months, like I have, you would
notice even more problems.
E.g., every time the user opens an image file by accident,
they will see, along with the binary mess,
"File mode specification error: (error Display does not support images)"
It would be better to warn them
"emacs -nw has no image support. Use find-file-literally if you really want to edit this image."
and not open the file.
What's worse is view-mode doesn't even have a warning. Sure, it is
tailored for the 1% of users who really are using emacs -nw to view the
guts of JPGs.
