This is better to write as:

	switch (stuff->type) {
	default:
        	die("programming error");
        case MENU_STUFF_TYPE_MENU_ITEM:
        	...
                break;
	case MENU_STUFF_TYPE_STRING_LIST:
        	...
		break;
	}

Besides, there is no good reason to write an equality comparison
between constant and variable in that order (people call it a "Yoda
condition"); do "var == const" if you must.

Also please fix this one:

> +		for_each_string_list_item(item, (struct string_list *)stuff->stuff) {

> +				(*chosen)[i] = 0;
> +			strbuf_addf(&menu, "%s%2d: %s", (*chosen)[i] ? "*" : " ", ++i, item->string);

Because the evaluation order of function arguments are not defined
(not left to right; these are comma-expressions),

	(*chosen)[i] ? "*" : " "

may use the original value of "i", or value after increment the
evaluation of

	++i

left in "i".
