Right now, the (optional) character mechanism name is called the
"prefix", and can be one of "+", "-", "~" or "?".  Julian doesn't like
the name "prefix" because it describes its syntactic function, not its
semantics.

The mechanism tries to match an IP address.  If it succeeds, something
is to be done with it, else skip this mechanism and continue.

Hence, "when-matches" or "action" seems proper.

Unless I see a lot of consensus on one name and a consensus that this
is really a worthwhile change, I will vote no on any proposed changes.

I can live with either no change, or with "action"/"when-matches"
