Why is `"\0A"` the default `end` value for `print`?

I saw this in some hover text in vscode and wondered if that was correct. Sure enough the docs confirm this.

I sort of understand the null termination, but why the

'A'

'A'

'A'

'A' after the null byte?

In the future, can we expect

print

print

print

print to handle null bytes?

e.g., in python, I can do

In [1]: print('text\0A more text')
textA more text

In [2]: print(repr('text\0A more text'))
'text\x00A more text'

In [1]: print('text\0A more text')
textA more text

In [2]: print(repr('text\0A more text'))
'text\x00A more text'

In [1]: print('text\0A more text')
textA more text

In [2]: print(repr('text\0A more text'))
'text\x00A more text'

In [1]: print('text\0A more text')
textA more text

In [2]: print(repr('text\0A more text'))
'text\x00A more text'

print | Modular Docs

printTs StringSlice[StaticConstantOrigin] = StringSlice("\0A"), flush FileDescriptor = FileDescriptor(1))

Why is `"\0A"` the default `end` value for `print`?
