In this case the const char* keys come from the literals added on
lines 27 and 28 and so didn't need free-ing - which is what
expr__ctx_clear() does. I've made these literals strdups and switched
to expr__ctx_clear() as you suggest, as this is more reflective of the
real use.

This was a memory leak, thanks!
