We do need something that can be referenced as string variable, so
offset/length is not enough.
The more I get into this, the more I think an abstraction from the
prefixes is a good idea. A system may even allow different ways of
subaddressing, so filters should be able just to refer to a subaddress,
no matter how it is encoded in mail addresses.
