ah, right, my review of my prior mail failed to see that sentence... yes,
it was primarily based on the codebase i was reviewing)... it would seem a
bit easier to not have to admit < \\, NUL > for implementation reasons;
there is really no loss of functionality if this is not supported, since if
the author really wants a NUL, then can just use < \\, 0, SPACE > or
perhaps < \\, 0 > if the context permits.
