 * realloc() the string buffer as needed.

 * The caller may choose leave the initial string buffer pointer as @c
 * NULL, in which case it will be allocated upon the first attempt to
 * insert a character into the buffer.  If the caller does this, then
 * it must be prepared to find the pointer still @c NULL after
 * editing, since the user may never attempt to insert any characters.
