I think this patch is ill-advised.
AFAIK "NULL" is a pointer of zero value, whereas the byte/char of zero
value is called "NUL", so if we want to make a change it should be from
"null-byte" to "nul-byte", not the other way around.
Especially since:
% grep '\<nul\>' etc/NEWS*
etc/NEWS.27:** 'inhibit-null-byte-detection' is renamed to
'inhibit-nul-byte-detection'.
