Bug description:  mysql_fetch_* inconsistent with MySQL C API 

The handling of NULL values in mysql_fetch_* function seems to be
inconsistent with MySQL C API:
in C, mysql_fetch_row() would put nil values in the row array if
corresponding value in the select statement is NULL.
In PHP it seems, as dicussed on mysql_fetch_array() page, the NULL values
would not be stored in the array at all.
This poses some problems when migrating from C to PHP. Would it be possible
to introduce another function that would be consistent with MySQL C API?
