This would not be future-proof. In C23, if you pass a const char * into
strchr(), you also get a const char * as a result. And in this case, we
do write into the area pointed to by the result. So with a const char
*token, this whole thing would not compile cleanly under C23.

Yeah, surely there are many possible implementations. I'm thinking,
since we already took other str*() functions from OpenBSD, it makes
sense to do this here as well, so we have only one source to deal with.
