Overall the goal of getting rid of the "if the first N bytes of the
ptr match this string, advance ptr by N bytes" pattern, whether the
first N is implicitly given by using prefixcmp() or explicitly given
by using memcmp(), is very good.  And the result looked good from a
cursory read---though I have not gone through the series with fine
toothed comb yet.

Thanks.
