changing NULL output can break lot of existing tests, but I add second
column with info about null

+select string_to_table('1,2,3,4,*,6', ',', '*'),
string_to_table('1,2,3,4,*,6', ',', '*') IS NULL;
+ string_to_table | ?column?
+-----------------+----------
+ 1 | f
+ 2 | f
+ 3 | f
+ 4 | f
+ | t
+ 6 | f
+(6 rows)
