[issue17705] Fill Character cannot be \0

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

Unsurprisingly (libmpdec is a C library) this also does not work in _decimal. I could add a special case in _decimal.c at the cost of
two additional if statements for all regular use cases.


Is padding with NUL a legitimate use case? IOW, is the slowdown justified?
