Thanks, Peter!

But at least you can memove() to avoid second allocation.
ideally to refactor that the result of get_options is consumed as is
(it may be casted to struct tokens { int n; u32 v[]; })

True, it needs to be thought through. But I guess you got the idea of
how to use existing library routines.
