I agree with you.

Well, The reason `strtol_i` does not check the return value is that
`strtol_i` will
only modify the value of `reroll_count` if the `reroll_count_string`
we provide is
an integer string, so if `reroll_count_string` is not an integer string, then
`reroll_count` will remain -1, and then `diff_title` will only execute
if (reroll_count <= 0)
strbuf_addstr(sb, generic);
So don't need check strtol_i return value. But what you said to put
`strtol_i` in
`diff_title` is indeed a good idea. Of course, we need to modify the declaration
and parameters of `diff_title`.
