omega only uses prefixes.insert(). I think that having set_prefix(),
get_prefix(), clear_prefix() and clear_prefixes() would give enough,
to be honest. Given that the client app has set to the prefixes, the
main reason for getters and iteration is to avoid duplicate data, and
I doubt it'll happen very often.
