The context makes this look obviously correct, but one thing to watch
out for in these skip_prefix() conversions is that the value of "me" is
now mutated. This one is fine, because nobody else looks at "me" after
this (knowing you, I am pretty sure you checked that already, but I am
making a mental note to myself and others as we review these).
