Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:14 gk]:
 > I am just confused about the comment above this function because I
 somehow fail to see how `null` gets returned if the destination would be
 too long.

 Sorry; I was not looking at the comment. The part about returning null is
 wrong (leftover from an earlier iteration of the code).
