I pointed this out in my response to Ævar, but I want to make sure it
gets seen. This call assumes the list is sorted, but...

This will create an unsorted list. You'd have to use
string_list_insert() here for a sorted list, or
unsorted_string_list_has_string() in the earlier call.
It's unfortunate that string_list makes this so easy to get wrong.

I don't think anybody cares about done_alias being an accurate count.
Should we just leave this as-is?
