Ah, sorry, I wasn't precise enough, please let me explain. When I wrote "prefix", I had its use by humans in mind, e.g. for searching the "what's cooking" emails by hand, to see the statuses of one's patches. I mean, that's what I do -- by searching for "ds/", I can easily find the statuses of my patches in "what's cooking" emails. Does that make sense?
