Wait a second. Where is it written that the null pointer has the same bit
pattern as sizeof(pointer) consecutive unsigned chars with value '\0'? Hm?
memset is *wrong*.

Moreover, a high-quality implementation of fill_n will expand above
special case into memset anyway.

Add to it that performance is absolutely not an issue in the given
use-case, I'd aim for a correct solution anytime (be it fill_n() or an
explicit loop).
