What does your feature request improve on? Please describe.
Often it is necessary to detect, whether a string begins or ends with a specific substring. Although this can be done using substr() == STR, it is error prone if comparing the last characters of a string.
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide two new functions beginswith(STR,STR) -> LOG and endswith(STR,STR) -> LOG, which shall detect, whether a stirng starts or ends with a corresponding string. Naming is up to discussion, of course.

ANALYSIS
Create the two function implementations in stringfunctions.hpp as STR_STR. As it is quite common to name the function for comparing the beginning of the string startswith(), we'll use this name as well.
