Will do

It's private, with a name of its own for code-deduplication (it's
called in c_str() and scanf()).

Ok, that's a solution too :)

Hopefully we'll be able to remove it in favor of other things (e.g.
SBufStream), but there's much legacy in squid.

I don't understand if the problem is with terminate() existing or with
the documentation seeming to hint that it is public (the latter being
of course easier to fix than the former).

Thanks!
