 * pointer to a NUL-terminated string allocated using malloc() (or
 * equivalent, such as strdup()).  Any edits made to the string will
 * realloc() the string buffer as needed.
 *
 * The caller may choose leave the initial string buffer pointer as @c
 * NULL, in which case it will be allocated upon the first attempt to
 * insert a character into the buffer.  If the caller does this, then
 * it must be prepared to find the pointer still @c NULL after
 * editing, since the user may never attempt to insert any characters.
