What new feature are you talking about? I think you misunderstood the
actual issue: NULL as an empty string *worked* in 3.1 and that's why we
have a regression with _pickle here.

So, in the end, you are the one proposing a change in actual behaviour,
while I'm trying to minimize changes (and breakage).
