After reading that, one might be tempted to write

	struct string_list x;
	STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP(x);

, no?  In other words, I don't find the text very clear.

If you like working by example (like I do) then api-strbuf.txt might
give a good indication of how this sort of thing can be helpfully
documented.

Maybe something in this direction?

Patch #3 in particular is very rough and ought to be split up for
easier review.  This is not meant for application, just to give an
idea.

  string-list: introduce string_list_init()
  string-list: document ...
  Make initialization of string_lists more consistent
