    Fix the auto-keyword detection based on parameter type for USER, DIR, and SUB

    SUB and DIR have long had this bug, but I just noticed while playing with the new USER keyword capabilities (specifying user numbers and/or names).

    If you switched between numeric and alpha/string parameters, without restating the ARS keyword, the keyword would could end up wrong in the parsed byte array.

    arstr() shouldn't blow up if passed a NULL string

    Just some defensive programming - no known issue addressed by this change.

    Add the WIP keyword parsing back to arstr()

    ... removed in commit 8187ea673b86f52df45facbef63e13824b0b15ed

    Some (very) old Baja modules included checks for WIP support using ARS and without this keyword support, they would compiled with the interpretation of "WIP" as the "IP" ARS keyword and with no argument return true when evaluated basically falsely telling the script that the user's using a WIP terminal. Nobody is using a WIP terminal.
