DESCRIPTION
       The package textutil::string provides miscellaneous string manipulation
       commands.

       The complete set of procedures is described below.

       ::textutil::string::chop string
              A convenience command. Removes the last character of string and
              returns the shortened string.

       ::textutil::string::tail string
              A convenience command. Removes the first character of string and
              returns the shortened string.

       ::textutil::string::cap string
              Capitalizes the first character of string and returns the
              modified string.

       ::textutil::string::uncap string
              The complementary operation to ::textutil::string::cap. Forces
              the first character of string to lower case and returns the
              modified string.

       ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefixList list

       ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefix ?string...?
              Computes the longest common prefix for either the strings given
              to the command, or the strings specified in the single list, and
              returns it as the result of the command.

              If no strings were specified the result is the empty string.  If
              only one string was specified, the string itself is returned, as
              it is its own longest common prefix.
