Obviously the runtime of that implementation of lin_suggest_argv_split
is linear in the size of the input and that's unfortunate.  But the
constant factor would be small and I think we can fix the problem
(moving to O(1)) just by changing the interface slightly later.  I
don't think it's a big deal for now; I'd rather make things work
first, and then make them work fast. [*]
