read command and ascii null as delimiter

[Nathan Coulter]

Feature request: an option, maybe "-0" to use ascii null as the delimiter for 
the "read" command.  It would make the following two commands produce the same 
output:

pooryorick@debian:~/tmp5$ printf 'hello\000there' | xargs -n1 -0 echo
hello
there

pooryorick@debian:~/tmp5$ printf 'hello\000there' | { while read -0 ; do echo 
$REPLY; done; }
