Andreas,

This documentation is good, but I worry that it tells us little more
than what the original function names told us.

There is a critical important difference between the append and
append_buffer routines - that is, the append_buffer routine uses the
fact that the terminating NULL is at the end of the talloc allocated
buffer.  This allowed O(1) construction of long strings, without a new
strlen() each time.
