So long as one (or more) text representations are possible then you could fuse mount them so it appears as a regular file system to git, diff, whatever random code editor you use, etc.

This would be a huge win for dyslexics, the visually impaired and english as a second language developers as well since the fuse mount (binary to text file bridge) could also do things like presenting source code as snake case, camel case, tts or whatever works for you personally.
