What is the 'rb' parameter when loading the NBT file? #120

My guess is that their intention was to pass 'rb' as an *args to GZipFile or something for file-loading ("rb" as in "read bytes"), but they don't seem to use it correctly since it actually gets assigned to the buffer parameter instead.

Thanks, yea I'm specifically referring to nbt.nbt.NBTFile("level.dat", 'rb')
