If we were to rewrite this using skip_prefix(), I would imagine we
would rather write it this way:
if (subject &&
skip_prefix(subject, match, &p) &&
(*p || *p != '/'))
return !neg;
because it would be shorter and make the logic easier to follow:
We make the final decision only when "subject" is there, its
early part matches "match", and the match is at the slash
boundary (or the whole thing).
The original wanted to say the same thing, but it had to split that
logic into two only because it needed an assignment to "len" in the
middle, and because doing an assignment inside a conditional part of
if() statement is frowned upon.
