We could change:
A NULL is output as the NULL string and is not quoted, while a data value
matching the NULL string is quoted.
to
A NULL is output as the NULL parameter and is not quoted, while a non-NULL data value whose text representation
matches the NULL parameter is quoted.
or something similar. Would that be better?
