Not related to your changes, but I just realized that this variable
really ought to be named 'end_nul' since we're talking about the
character NUL, not a NULL pointer.

Likewise, the long option name should be --nul rather than --null, or
the long name could be dropped altogether since some other commands
just recognize short option -z.
There is no need for this patch series to address this anomaly; it's
perhaps low-hanging fruit for someone wanting to join the project. The
only very minor wrinkle is that we'd still need to recognize --null as
a deprecated (and undocumented) alias for --nul.
