I didn't carefully see that in the function string_list_clear() it
only free()'s the memory if strdup_strings is 1. I think changing
strdup_strings to 1 would be an easy way out but it would make the
code very ugly and non-trivial. On the other hand, I can initialize
the string as STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP which will automatically set
strdup_strings as 1 and then also free the memory of ref at that point
after the string ref was appended to the list. Personally, I will
prefer the latter one.
