When matching against strings/slices, we call the comparison function
for strings, which takes two string slices by value. The slices are
passed in memory, and currently we just pass in a pointer to the
original slice. That can cause misoptimizations because we emit a call
to llvm.lifetime.end for all by-value arguments at the end of a
function, which in this case marks the original slice as dead.
So we need to properly create copies of the slices to pass them to the
comparison function.
