I have an application that creates its special registry key using NtCreateKey(parent, "Something\0"), and then expects to be able to open this key with NtOpenKey("Something\0") on start up. Currently this fails because terminating '\0' in the key name doesn't survive saving/loading the registry. parse_strW() helper already supports loading such key names.
As the tests show after creating a kernel object with name "Something\0" it's possible to only open it as "Something\0", an attempt opening it as "Something" fails with STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND, and vice versa.
