I noticed a comment I left on the xoauth branch about duplicating
geta out of install-mh.c and thought I'd break it out to sbr.

Instead, I found a whole pile of "getanswer" type functions, and
it took a while to suss out the differences.

I think we have some redundancies here.  But I hope it's not
controversial to at least give them better names and comments.
But maybe people don't like my names; naming is hard :)

I think we could replace read_line with the core reading a line
parts of read_switch_multiword and reimplement read_switch to
call read_switch_multiword.  I see no reason not to return both
the array and smatch result from read_switch_multiword .

Any objections?

Thanks.
