I was thinking about existing users of such (with "gaps") cases.
Not all of them have NULL there and would like to avoid some members.
Though, I think that we may ignore NULL items if -1 is supplied.

Think as well about ARRAY_SIZE() as given to that.

And consider to fix match_string() accordingly.
