This isn't a big priority for me, so if this suggestion is anything but
trivial, please ignore it.

You could have the function take one argument, but the argument is a
struct pointer to a string plus a void pointer. It would work in less
type-fussy languages, and who knows, maybe there's some trick with the
current code to fit this in.

Unless this is trivial, please forget I mentioned it. I'm sure ctwm
has much more important priorities.
