Excellent suggestion. The objective is to make sure the flexing that does
occur isn't concentrated on a small area of exposed strands between the
insulation and the connector, whatever form of attachment to the connector
is used. 

Shrink tubing that keeps that area at least as stiff as the rest of the wire
will avoid that.
