"""Check if a given file is binary or not.
Uses a simplified version of the Perl detection algorithm, based roughly on
Eli Bendersky's translation to Python:
http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/10/19/perls-guess-if-file-is-text-or-binary-implemented-in-python/
This is biased slightly more in favour of deeming files as text files than
the Perl algorithm, since all ASCII compatible character sets are accepted as
text, not just utf-8.
:param path: Path to a file to check.
:param blocksize: Amount of bytes to read for determination.
:returns: True if appears to be a binary, otherwise False.
