* which interact with higher-level APIs.

/**
* strbufs are meant to be used with all the usual C string and memory
* APIs. Given that the length of the buffer is known, it's often better to
* use the mem* functions than a str* one (e.g., memchr vs. strchr).
* Though, one has to be careful about the fact that str* functions often
* stop on NULs and that strbufs may have embedded NULs.
*
* A strbuf is NUL terminated for convenience, but no function in the
* strbuf API actually relies on the string being free of NULs.
*
* strbufs have some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
*
* - The `buf` member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C
* string operations safely. strbufs _have_ to be initialized either by
* `strbuf_init()` or by `= STRBUF_INIT` before the invariants, though.
*
* Do *not* assume anything on what `buf` really is (e.g. if it is
* allocated memory or not), use `strbuf_detach()` to unwrap a memory
* buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported
* way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later `free()`.
*
* However, it is totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by
* the `buf` member, between the indices `0` and `len-1` (inclusive).
*
* - The `buf` member is a byte array that has at least `len + 1` bytes
* allocated. The extra byte is used to store a `'\0'`, allowing the
* `buf` member to be a valid C-string. All strbuf functions ensure this
* invariant is preserved.
*
* NOTE: It is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it this
* way:
*
* strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE); <1>
* strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
*
* <1> Here, the memory array starting at `sb->buf`, and of length
* `strbuf_avail(sb)` is all yours, and you can be sure that
* `strbuf_avail(sb)` is at least `SOME_SIZE`.
*
* NOTE: `SOME_OTHER_SIZE` must be smaller or equal to `strbuf_avail(sb)`.
*
* Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
* missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
*
* WARNING: Do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size `alloc
* - 1` even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
* "private" member that should not be messed with. Use `strbuf_avail()`
* instead.
