When building make.bash, calling Nodes.Set(s) where len(s) == 0 occurs
4738678 times vs 1465415 calls where len(s) > 0; i.e., it is over 3x
more common to set Nodes.slice to nil rather than to s.

Make a copy of slice (header) and take address of that copy instead
to avoid allocating the argument slice on the heap always even when
not needed.

Saves 4738678 slice header allocations and slice header value copies.
