Probably. I could easily see something like:
ByteArray>>isBinary ^true
String>>isBinary ^false
in which case Symbol>>isBinary would be a major surprise. My preference would be a more explicit name along the lines of #isBinarySelector or #isSelectorBinary or something. #isBinary has a number of potential conflicts and the proposed implementation is used way to rarely to occupy such a generic name.
