Re: [PATCH 12/13] strvec: implement swapping two strvecs

> In a future commit, we'll want the ability to efficiently swap the
> contents of two strvec instances without needing to copy any data.
> Since a strvec is simply a pointer and two sizes, swapping them is as
> simply as copying the two pointers and sizes, so let's do that.
