strings containing ascii null

Hello,

I'm having troubles displaying strings containing the null ascii code. More
specifically, 
a="\0"
results in a string of length 1, but
size(do_string_escapes(a))
returns 0 0
I would expect it to display the string "^@", of size (1 1). I know that
null is used as C end-of-line, but then why does
size(do_string_escapes(char([0 0 97 0])))
return 1 3 ? Would it be possible for "do_string_escapes" to return a string
with the same length as octave input string ?

Regards

Pascal
