It can be convenient to push many strings in a single line
(e.g., if you are initializing an array with defaults). This

I called this "pushl" after "execl", with the intent that we might
eventually have "pushv" if somebody wants it. Hopefully that makes
sense to others, but if not, I can name it something more verbose.
