The intent of showing the message "Binary file xyz matches" for binary files is to avoid annoying users by potentially messing up their terminals by printing control characters. In --count mode, this precaution isn't necessary. Display counts of matches if -c/--count was specified, even if -a was not given. GNU grep does the same. Moving the check for ->count before the code for handling binary file also avoids printing context lines if --count and -[ABC] were used together, so we can remove the part of the comment that mentions this behaviour. Again, GNU grep does the same.
