Thanks for the review! I adopted your changes, except for

Yeah, I did read that text, and thought for a bit about how much of it
to include. The test query alone would have been fine, but without a
straightforward repair recipe, I'm not sure how useful it is. I don't
want to expend a large amount of note space on a problem that likely
affects very few people. Maybe we could stop at offering the ALTER
TABLE commands, and leave people to cope with finding any NULLs on
their own?
