I thought that was what you were speaking in the first place.
ff_make_absolute_url() only does what the caller wants, the caller
decides the size of the buffer, and we can be sure it is shorter than
the concatenation of both parts.

That's because I made the mistake of showing the implementation and
talking about the benefits.

The implementation is my problem (and whoever would succeed me if I were
to stop maintaining it, but if it is accepted, I do not intend to). The
benefits are for everybody.

Please have a look at the other mail I just sent, where I show the
benefits and keep the implementation for myself.

Regards,
