/**
 * The strvec API allows one to dynamically build and store
 * NULL-terminated arrays of strings. A strvec maintains the invariant that the
 * `v` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
 * always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `v[nr]`. This
 * makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
 * argv from main().
 *
 * The string-list API (documented in string-list.h) is similar, but cannot be
 * used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
 * it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
 * with the traditional argv interface.
 *
 * Each `strvec` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
 * array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by strvec_clear().
