Just to avoid misunderstanding. I do not mean to suggest renaming these inside this series. It would make things too noisy and even more distracting. But in the longer term, as we treat strbuf more and more as one of our basic data structures, it would make sense to lose strbuf_ from functions that are thrown out of strbuf.[ch] with this series, and reserve the prefix to functions that are left in strbuf.[ch], i.e. those that are about string operations.
