Please don't do this.  To verify that a given pointer isn't freed before
it's used we'd have to make sure that there are no string_list_free()
calls in the interim that would hit their pointer on this global list.

As far as I can tell, this is only used for the pretty units?  Instead
of
	printf("%s", leaked_string(raw));

how about

	printf("%llu%s", scaled_value(raw), static_unit_str(raw));

That'd avoid the need to pass back arbitrary allocated strings and this
code could go away.

if (a == 0) a = 0?

NULL[-1] = s?
