Actually, I named it print_modified() because I anticipated there
would be no list_and_choose() equivalent in C. I don't think the
builtin should have the interactive menu + modified list + untracked
list being handled by one function. Rather, I think a saner way to go
on with it would be to create functions like print_untracked();
choose_from_input(); print_menu() etc.

This is still pure speculation from what I've written until now and
from the roadmap I have in my head (I do not know how writing code
from now on will actually be), but I have a hunch that
list_and_choose() is already convoluted enough in Perl; in C it might
become a monster.

Thank *you* for the quick and thorough review :)
