savestring()

[J.T. Conklin]

Lint complaints about signed/unsigned conversions in the typical use
of savestring:

        x->foo = savestring(bar, strlen(bar));

Is there any reason why we shouldn't change the type of savestring's
(likewise msavestring) second argument from int to size_t?

Also, since the above is the same as:

        x->foo = xstrdup(bar);

Is there any reason why we shouldn't change it?  It's a bit odd that
half the code uses savestring() and the other half uses xstrdup().
