Description
Currently &str is supported for string types, but if the string isn't always populated it would be nice to serialise a null pointer. Current workaround is passing a *const u8 which is error prone.

Research direction
Locate the existing serialization support for &str and any related tests, then trace how string values become probe arguments. Done means Option<&str> and Option are accepted and absent values serialize as null pointers without requiring a raw *const u8 workaround.
