Summary: Allow `Slice` holding nullptr as a sentinel value but not in comparisons. This new restriction eliminates the need for the manual checks in 39ef900551a4d88c8546ca086baaba76730e6162, while still conforming to glibc's `memcmp` API. Thanks siying for the idea. Users may need to migrate, so mentioned it in HISTORY.md.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
