Its not just embedded NULs, its that files may not be UTF-8 encoded. How will 
Scintilla display non-UTF-8 files when it is told they are UTF-8?  Will it be 
useful?  Will it crash?  Even if the buffer is read only will navigation and 
other actions work on non-UTF8 contents? And plugins, to date our guarantee to 
them was that the buffer was UTF-8 and no NULs? IMO its a very niche use-case 
that opens up a very wide problem space.
