Since apparently this isn't a bug, can we at least update the comment to match
the code.
(This is the solution I was implying when I said "or a documentation error",
and "A special case
for null bytes is fine, but to save me and any other person that debugging
nightmare when they
try to do utf8 processing on data with null bytes in it. I'd prefer if that was
mentioned somewhere."
in the email you didn't read ("What's context needed for?"))
