I agree there is potential for confusion either way. I tried to come up
with a complete and not-confusing wording for all four options, but did
not manage to improve on the current state of affairs significantly. I
think it can stay the way it is. The reference to xargs -0 is probably
enough to set the right expectations about how it works.

We can always add a sentence later to clarify the special-case behaviour
of -0 if anyone is actually confused (and the best wording will be more
clear in that situation too).
