Actually, you've hit on something I've implemented and used myself, but
for different reasons.
Mine are called g_string_init() and g_string_done(). In my situation, I
have, for example, a struct:
struct mydata {
GString one;
GString two;
GString three;
GString four;
};
By using g_string_init() instead of g_string_new() and pointers, I save
myself four malloc() calls -- a big deal when I have thousands of these
structs running about. And the bonus is that I can still use all the
spiffy GString support functions.
I've never dared submit my additions for fear of Owen calling my ideas
ridiculous. (That's a joke. Owen, please don't ridicule me...)
