I seem to recall running across a similar pattern elsewhere, where a caller wanted either an exact match, or a match ending with a particular character. We could add one more helper like: if (subject && skip_prefix_with_sep(subject, match, '/', &p)) return !neg; But I don't offhand recall where that other place was, and it's not like it's saving a huge amount of complexity in the caller. So I'll file it away in the back of my mind and see if it comes up a third time. ;) -Peff
