Do not touch that please!!!!

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:

Parsing the commented lines is also likely to slow down the parser, so keep 
your hands of it please! There are too many regressions already!
