Subject: * cmds.c (overwrite_binary_mode): Deleted; this implements the 
 wrong feature. 	(Qoverwrite_mode_binary): New variable. 
 (internal_self_insert): If current_buffer->overwrite_mode is 
 `overwrite-mode-binary', do as overwrite_binary_mode used to. 
 (syms_of_cmds): Remove defvar of overwrite_binary_mode; initialize 
 Qoverwrite_mode_binary. 	* buffer.c (syms_of_buffer): Doc fix for
 overwrite_mode. 	* buffer.h (struct buffer): Doc fix.
