This programming style is not used by the Standard C library (and
other well-known libraries). I'd be reluctant to use it in my
programs.
Why not? If you malloc something, you know you need to free it
when no longer needed. If you use ggets, you know you need to free
the line when no longer needed. This is not a massive memory
leap. Meanwhile you don't have to worry about buffer sizes, etc.
