The 'contents' atom does not show any error if used with 'trailers'
atom and semicolon is missing before trailers arguments.

e.g %(contents:trailersonly) works, while it shouldn't.

It is definitely not an expected behavior.

Let's fix this bug.

Nice spotting.  7a5edbdb (ref-filter.c: parse trailers arguments
with %(contents) atom, 2017-10-01) talks about being deliberate
about the case where skip_prefix(":") does not find a colon after
the "trailers" token, but from the message it is clear that it
expected that the case happens only when "trailers" is at the end of
the string.

The new helper that is overly verbose and may be overkill.

Shouldn't this be clear enough, equivalent and sufficient?

	else if (skip_prefix(arg, "trailers", &arg) &&
		 (!*arg || *arg == ':'))) {
		if (trailers_atom_parser(...);

That is, we not just make sure the string begins with "trailers",
but also make sure it either (1) ends the string (i.e. the token is
just "trailers"), or (2) is followed by a colon ':', before entering
the block to handle "trailers[:anything]".  If we later add a new
atom "trailersonly", that will not be handled here, but elsewhere in
the "else if" cascade.

Ah, no, even with "*arg++ == ':'.  This moves arg past "trailers" if
given "trailersandsomegarbage" and the next one in "else if" cascade
would look at "andsomegarbage"---which is not what we want.

And the helper does not have such a breakage.  It looks good.

Thanks.

One minor comment (not worth a re-roll): I personally found:

    *option = ++opt;

more confusing than:

    *option = opt + 1;

The `++opt` places a higher cognitive load on the reader. As a
reviewer, I had to go back and carefully reread the function to see if
the side-effect of `++opt` had some impact which I didn't notice on
the first readthrough. The simpler `opt + 1` does not have a
side-effect, thus is easier to reason about (and doesn't require me to
re-study the function when I encounter it).

That makes the two of us ... thanks.

It seems like the score is 2-0.
I guess I'm going with winning side.

Will be improved in next version.

Thanks,
