Why does it even have to know where the prefix ends or how long the
prefix is?
Doesn't it suggest that perhaps the parse_clean_color_slot()'s
external interface is misdesigned? In the other examples you
showed, e.g.
builtin/apply.c: if (!prefixcmp(buffer, "delta ")) {
builtin/apply.c- patch_method = BINARY_DELTA_DEFLATED;
builtin/apply.c- origlen = strtoul(buffer + 6, NULL, 10);
we are calling external libraries that are designed to take a
pointer to a character, but the parse-clean-color-slot knows that it
is fed the name of a configuration variable and it knows the shape
of its input far better than a generic function like strtoul(), no?
