Documentation for IO#read claims resulting string is always ASCII-8BIT encoding. This is not true (anymore).(http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.0.0/IO.html#method-i-read)

This statement refers only to the case that an integer length argument is provided; then binmode is used and the resulting string is always ASCII-8BIT.

I tried to clarify this further in r58008 ("In the case of an integer length, the resulting string is always in ASCII-8BIT encoding.").
