Oh, hang on, "the NULL string" refers to the copy parameter? Not a

We could change:
? A NULL is output as the NULL string and is not quoted, while a data value
? matching the NULL string is quoted.
to
? A NULL is output as the NULL parameter and is not quoted, while a non-NULL
data value whose text representation
? matches the NULL parameter is quoted.
or something similar. Would that be better?
Yes, much better IMO.
I have applied the attached documentation clarification patch, and
backpatched it to 8.4.X.
Why didn't you follow the wording I actually suggested, which had the
virtue of being accurate.
cheers
