> In Arrow 3.0.0, the {{arrow.skip_nul}} option effectively defaults to
> {{FALSE}} for consistency with {{base::readLines}} and {{base::scan}}.
> If the user keeps this default option value, then conversion of string data
> containing embedded nuls causes an error with a message like:
> {code:java}
> embedded nul in string: '\0' {code}
> If the user sets the option to {{TRUE}}, then no error occurs, but this
> warning is issued:
> {code:java}
> Stripping '\0' (nul) from character vector {code}
> Consider whether we should:
> # Keep this all as it is
> # Change the default option value to {{TRUE}}
> # Keep the default option value as it is, but catch the error and re-throw
> it with a more actionable message that tells the user how to set the option
