That usage is quite rare compared to occurrences of
skip_prefix_defval(foo, prefix, foo), no? Adding a temporary variable
for them wouldn't be that bad if we can simplify the API to a single
function -- if that one is usable, that is.
On the other hand, we could add a special function for that example
and we'd already have three users in the tree (patch below). I think
that's too narrow a use case for a library function, though. Doing
the following instead in the three cases doesn't seem to be too bad:
rest = skip_prefix(line->buf, ">From");
if (rest != line->buf && isspace(*rest)) {
