For people not familiar with strvec, I think there's a missing bit of
explanation between those two paragraphs: an initialized strvec does not
point to NULL, but to a dummy array with a single NULL value in it. That
explains why it might crash. :)
That nit (and the one I mentioned in the previous patch) aside, these
patches look good to me (and I am OK with or without the nits
addressed).
