Yeah, the strncmp() followed by the termination check indeed is trickier but not having to worry about allocation is nice.

We used to allocate option[] with NUL termination, but ...

... now option[] is a borrowed memory, option[optionlen] would have been NUL if we were allocating. So to see if the last-seen string[] is different from option[], we have to see that they match up to optionlen and the last-seen string[] ends there. Trickier than before, but is correct.
