Canonical way of dealing with null-separated lines?

Sorry... I forgot to try it with a null terminated string. I guess it further
illustrates the power of writing good test cases. Something like this would
help: 

    # yield anything left over
    if retain[0]:
        yield retain[0]

The other modification would be an option to ignore multiple nulls in a row,
rather than returning empty strings, which could be done in a similar way.
