Wouldn't all of the above become three or four lines that is so
clear that there is no need for any comment if you used string-list,
perhaps?

Whoops, I didn't know that string-list existed. I'll try reworking the
code to use that. Concerning the comments: I planned to remove them
anyways since the code should be simple enough to be understood without
them already.

  		 */

	/*

	 */

I wasn't sure if I should have changed that (because I didn't introduce
that comment), but I can fix it in v3.

  	return done_alias;
