I must be missing something, but I thought regular strings can not
contain embedded nulls, so we can have a simple rule: don't store
terminating nulls for simple strings, but store them for multi-strings.

Aha -- you mean that if we follow this rule, all is good, but we
will not be backwards compatible because currently multi-strings
don't have the embedded nulls, right?

In that case, I guess we already have a versioning mechanism for
the registry files, so we'll just have to go to the next version,
and convert the old files to the new format.
