Well, whatever the documentation wants to say with this, a "\0" is converted
to a backslash in at least 3.1 and 3.5.  It is obvious that "\0" cannot be
supported because C strings use it as terminator, so it should probably be
removed from the documentation altogether.

BTW, note that the quote you provided only talks about output streams, not the
file #write directive!
