title: How do you construct a std::string with an embedded null?
body: <p>If I want to construct a std::string with a line like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>std::string my_string("a\0b");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where i want to have three characters in the resulting string (a, null, b), I only get one.  What is the proper syntax?</p>
