That might be a reasonable thing to do.
I had occasion to look at list.q in a little more detail
recently, though, and I think that in fact it should be changed
to not allocate its buffers in such a stupid way. In fact, it
looks like most or all users of nsprintf() or spprintf() should
really be using `struct string' these days.
