Is it a more general problem that null-terminated strings are used
with data from strings we specifically allow to contain null bytes?
Perhaps a migration of *FromString() to *FromStringAndSize()
functions, or taking Python string object pointers, would be a more
general solution to set as a goal, so this sort of thing can't crop up
down the road, again.
I know I'm still very uninitiated in the internals of CPython, so
anyone please correct me if my thoughts here are against any on-going
policy or reasoning.
