Someone ran across something like the below and shared it with me: 
        
> (system "x\0y")
 system: contract violation
   expected:
    (or/c (and/c string? (lambda (s) (not (memv #\nul (string->list s)))))
          (and/c bytes? (lambda (bs) (not (memv 0 (bytes->list bs))))))
   given: "x\u0000y"

I can read it and I know what it says. BUT, I think for a casual novice 
scripter who encounters this kind of message, it is difficult to scrutinize and 
understand, especially when an English phrase -- say "a string or byte-string 
without nul character" -- would have served just as well. 

Is it okay if I change this and push a fix in 'systems.rkt'?
