If done as two patch series where one does this and the other flips
polarity of the variable (!!line_termination === !nul_term_line),
would that make the result both simpler to read and future-proof?
Of course, a patch adding a "--nul" can be the one that does the
polarity flipping, so in that sense, this simplification is probably
OK, as long as there is some comment that warns a time-bomb you just
planted here ;-)
