The patch is okay, so

Odd: we require at least @expected_args, but more is fine. Not what the
name @expected_args made me expect.
We treat expected_args == 0 as special case to save callers the trouble
to free @words. Okay, but I'd try a more regular interface:
* one function that takes @expected_args and returns @words, always.
* a simple wrapper around it that passes zero @expected_args and frees
@words.
