(It's a macro in mutt, so it's fine. I'm speaking to whether it's a
general thing, which seemed to be Derek's question.)

To be clear, I'm totally fine with Kevin's suggested change, and will
make it.  I just don't want acceptance of a single patch to depend on an
open-ended discussion about mutt's preferred style or the broader issues
of C string safety.  That's a trap we get into far too often in these
parts.
