Summary 0001621: Add "null terminator" definition, adjust getdelim(3) usage accordingly
Description The standard contains usages of "null terminator", documenting only "null byte" terminators. It uses "NUL terminator" at one place (added in Issue 7 for getdelim() said Geoff Clare on austin-group-l@ in Y4nXMYB9tFwxeYx5@localhost).

I mention i personally only ever used NUL (the "character" name in ISO 646 / LATIN1 / Unicode) for any such purpose, but the standard defines C-style "3.375 String"s indeed as "A contiguous sequence of bytes terminated by and including the first null byte".

So here the clarification request.
Desired Action On page 73, insert after line 2121

 3.251 Null terminator
 A term used for the Null Byte of Section 3.248 when used as a terminator for String of Section 3.375 (on page REF).

On page 1026, for getdelim(3), change on line 34991

  Although a NUL terminator is always supplied after the line[.]
