I realize in practice that's a bit too much, i.e. it's very useful to be
able to use a string_list to account for a bunch of already-allocated
memory without strduping everything.

It's just unfortunate that you can't look at any code that works with
the API and understand whether it does an implicit xstrdup() or not
without tracking down its current state / where it got allocated at.
