I thought there was a discussion of this earlier, and the idea was to 
leave the prior implementation, because that's how it's implemented in 
3.0.  bin() is a new feature in 2.6, so there's no particular need to 
make it work like hex() and oct().

Recall that in 3.0, __bin__, __oct__, and __hex__ don't exist.  Instead, 
you use __index__ for integer conversions.  That's how bin() worked in 
2.6 until this checkin.

But now that I look for it, I can't find the original discussion.
