Stupid question: is there a better way to append a region of bytes to
a strbuf than

    strbuf_addf(&buf, "%.*s", (int)(str_end - str_beg), str);

?

It seems weird to me to invoke the printf machinery for something so
simple, but I don't see anything alternatives in strbuf.h.  Am I
missing something?
