This part made me go "Huh?" a bit.
Do we document that .buf==NULL means an uninitialized strbuf that is
safe to run strbuf_init() on? I do not mind that as a general
convention, and it may even be a useful one (i.e. it allows you to
calloc() a structure with an embedded strbuf in it and the "if
.buf==NULL, call strbuf_init() lazily" can become an established
pattern), but at the same time it feels a bit brittle.
Such a convention forces everybody who might want to use such an
embedded strbuf to first check .buf==NULL and lazily initialize
it---and at some point when the embedded strbuf to be used by enough
codepaths, it would make the code more robust by giving up on the
lazy initialization (iow, when *filter_options is initialized, run
strbuf_init() on its .filter_spec field).
