The null bytes are already rejected when forbidden by the encoding (utf-8 for example). Null byte characters in comments are perfectly valid in ISO8859-1 encoding, and a few scripts depend on them: http://ftp.waf.io/pub/release/waf-1.7.16 Parsing the commented lines is also likely to slow down the parser, so keep your hands of it please!
