Yes, he and I discussed that (pun intended) and tried to come up with
new wording that avoided the double-that and kept the meaning clear. My
apologies if I failed. Eitan originally suggested something longer (and
probably more clear) but it was I who suggested shortening it.

What wording would you suggest? How about, "NULL strings mean that the
corresponding part of the entry should be ignored." I think that fixes 2
problems, the double-that (which can be confusing to users for whom
English is not their first language) and the overloading of the term
"entry."
