But what would you return? An ASCII character? Or an integer? I'd
strongly argue that for a binary byte sequence, an integer is the
correct return value.

I think that the GIF example is a bad one. A GIF is not an character
string. It's a sequence of bits where someone decided to stick a
particular pattern into the first 24 of them to aid in identification.
It's no different to having a particular bit pattern framing an SDLC
header, or a certain bit sequence encoding the start of a relocation
record in a .o file.
However, to answer the question, it seems to me that the safest way
would be to work at the lowest common denominator:
first_three = buffer[0,3]
if first_three == "GIF".force_encoding("binary")
or
buffer.unpack("c3") == "GIF" # <-- not sure about this one
or
buffer[0] == ?G && buffer[1] == ?I ...
My point is that a true binary bit sequence by definition is not
ASCII. We're matching bit patterns, not characters.

No: you can't mix encodings like that. But is seems to me that this
kind of thing is exactly why unpack exists.
