 I just realized that when I gave the examples of other shells
 processing the input with \0 chars in the script, I omitted
 the bash test (it was the first I tested, and I just didn't
 cut far enough back in my terminal buffer).
 
 bash5 $ printf "x='\1\0\1'\nprintf '%%s'"' "$x"\n' | bash | hexdump -C
 00000000  01 01                                             |..|
 00000002
 
 The "bash5 $ " prompt for all of those examples is just because I
 used by bash5 test window to run these tests (which is irrelevant).
