* doc/AddErrInfo.3: Improved consistency of documentation

        * doc/CrtTrace.3:       by using "null" everywhere to refer to
        * doc/Encoding.3:       the character '\0', and using "NULL"
        * doc/Eval.3:           everywhere to refer to the value of a
        * doc/GetIndex.3:       pointer that points to nowhere.
        * doc/Hash.3:           Also dropped references to ASCII that
        * doc/LinkVar.3:        are no longer true, and standardized on
        * doc/Macintosh.3:      the hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
