Yes, and you can count getline/getwholeline as a special case to
chomp to empty at the beginning. I am not opposed to a helper to
give us an easy access to this common pattern.
It was just the name "addstr-at" did not sound, at least to me, what
it does, i.e. "replace with s from the pos to the end", which I
think is the same thing as a single-liner:
strbuf_splice(sb, pos, sb->len - pos, s, strlen(s))
