The patch we have is below, but I do not think you want it, as it is
missing several things:
- docs and tests
- handling multiple values
- anything but raw prefix matching (you even have to put in the "/"
yourself).
It was not my patch originally, and I never bothered to clean and
upstream it because I didn't think it was something anybody else would
be interested in. I'm happy to do so, but if you are working in the area
anyway, it would make sense to be part of your series.
