It's quite impolite to drop me from Cc when you're replying to something

Nah, SRS and BATV are fairly similar in principle. They both rewrite
return addresses on the way out, and put them back how they were on the
way back in.
And yes, there's no mention of 'prvs'-anything because it's all
open-coded as I said. Exim was perfectly flexible enough to do this kind
of stuff even before Tony added the prvs helper stuff.

If you're using the prvs support then yours is probably more useful.
Mine shows that it's done in a router instead of a rewrite rule, but
yours should be easier to use as an example.
