[Github-comments] [geany/geany] WIP: NUL byte support (#1709)

[Matthew Brush]

> But due the number of C NTS functions used in Geany

Have you actually checked how many functions used in Geany would be affected? I haven't, but I ask because it might be worth actually checking to see, maybe it's not so many more as one might assume.

> As for editing it, I have yet to see a real use-case for editing such files in a text editor/IDE

The obvious one that comes to mind is actually fixing the file by removing the NUL, which IIRC Scintilla helpfully displays using a special little icon/glyph.
