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	 modi‐
	      fied string.

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