Sorry, I missed that because you sent the patch as binary attachment.
The patch for the manual is okay, with one comment. I don't
understand the last sentence in this hunk:
For C-like languages, a value is a string if it is a pointer to or an
array of characters or ints. The string is assumed to be terminated
-by a zero of the appropriate width.
+by a zero of the appropriate width. However if the optional length
+argument is given, the string will be converted beyond any embedded
+nulls up to the length specified.
What does it mean ``converted beyond any embedded nulls''?
