Correct. It's however more or less the same as the current
camel_pstring_add.

This creates memory segmentation as the only time the string needs to be
freed, is when it's already found in the tokens table.

This way, it will always be freed. That's the reason why the free
happens in token_add (and why token_add is a static or implementation
detail of camel-folder-summary.c).
