I find these two functions showing an extremely bad taste in the code
design. "If we for some reason fail to add the string to the list, we
fallback to print it straight away" is the natural reading of this code,
but that is absolutly not the impression the author of this piece of
crap^Wcode wanted to give to its readers.

Am I being too ascestically perfectionist?
