I'd rather have it not use struct strbuf as an interface. It only
needs to pass "char *" and its promise that it touches the string
in-place without changing the length need to be documented as a
comment before the function.

I do not think it is worth it, though.

if (first_dot) {
scan up to first dot
if (last_dot)
scan from last dot to the end
}
would be uglier.
