There are other, more important things to rename, if someone is overeager enough to really want to start renaming names that aren't perfect. ___ FYI, google for "nul byte" and see what you get. Even just trying to type "nul byte" into the Search field you get ONLY completions for "null byte", "null byte character", etc. There are NO completions that start with just "nul". Same thing for Duck Duck Go. See this Wikipedia page, which is even _named_ "Null Character": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_character "It is often abbreviated as NUL" _Abbreviated_. The character is called the NULL character. "In 8-bit codes it is known as a null byte." ___ Was someone trying to show how erudite they are, by renaming this? How does such gratuitous help anyone? Can you please revert this renaming, or at least unobsolete the former (and better) name?
