A few trivial comments inline.

Might be good to factor this out as a little utility function.

Check for errors?  If not, perhaps a comment on why not.

I'd set this later perhaps as...

It otherwise needs clearing here so it doesn't have side
effects if an error occurs.

offloaded? To match with prepared.

Probably a good idea to talk about possible return values as well.
