Yep, fair description.

Sorry, I meant worth mentioning on the list, not anywhere particular
in the docs  - the topic came up recently when an instance of NUL was
incorrectly changed to read 'NULL' instead and it took me a moment to
figure out why the same reasoning *didn't* apply in this case.

Cheers,
