Which is what I did. I'm just asking if the change is needed.
I don't think my method is less inconvienient, but iterating over a list
with nth is a nono.
I think my way of iterating turned from
for (i = 0; i < eel_string_list_length (stringlist); i++) {
	data = eel_string_list_nth (stringlist, i);
}

into

for (l = eel_string_list_peek (stringlist); l; l = l->next) {
	data = l->data;
}

I'm not intending this as a flame (which were the vibes I got from your
reply), I'm honestly asking is it worth changing, given that it's used
in so few places.
