Howdy -- Right now, mapfile isn't suitable for any case where arbitrary C strings need to be read -- which is the case when handling filenames, serializing/deserializing arbitrary command-line parameters, and many other such situations.
Is there any chance of getting a -d '' (akin to read) or -0 (GNU convention) option to allow NULs to be used? This significantly decreases the number of places where I can use mapfile. Thanks, -- Charles
