OK I agree it's the minority and probably not even worth a wrapper.
But I disagree on changing the behavior of skip_prefix(). Some
in-flight topics might depend on "old" skip_prefix(). The
"skip_prefix() returns full string if not found" should have a
different name. I'll go with _gently again, unless you suggest another
name.
