I could change this to store the length at option initialization,
probably a good idea. Would it be better to just store it as a strbuf,
since these know their length already? Or just add a
line_prefix_length field? I agree that calling strlen a lot is
probably wasteful.

Thanks. I definitely feel like this is somewhat abusing the graph API
because we're adding something not exactly graph-related. But in some
ways it really is graph related as well, so I think it makes some
sense.
