I much prefer LVAL@@ to LVAL@0.

I don't think it's worth complicating the syntax for searching for a
zero terminator in order to allow one to search for an arbitrary
terminator.  I think that will require more typing in the much more
common case, and there are other ways to serve the need to search for
arbitrary terminators.
