Whenever you see "Change", "Rewrite", etc. in the subject of a patch
that touches existing code, think twice. The subject line is a
scarce real estate to be wasted on a noiseword that carries no real
information, and we already know a patch that touches existing code
changes or rewrites things.
Subject: [PATCH v3] skip_prefix: scan prefix only once
perhaps?

Unlike another patch I saw the other day on the same topic, this
checks *prefix twice for the last round, even though I think this
one is probably slightly easier to read. I dunno.
