I think you ultimately want such a string_list for matching arbitrary
numbers of keys, but do you need it for the git-config case?

"git config" does not know the semantics of each key, nor available
set of keys, no?  The string-list is only to support

    git config --get-urlmatch http http://www.google.com/

i.e. "list everything under http.* hierarchy".

Ah, I missed that you could leave "key" empty. I had expected
collect->key to be filled in, at which point you only ever have one such
key (and you do not need to know the semantics, only which one is the
"winner").
