 Fixed by:

   * Define stripPrefix; fixes trac #1464
 }}}

 For the gory details the thread starts at
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2007-June/007657.html

 There was general agreement that this should go in. A couple of more
 general variants were discussed, but concensus was that the simple,
 specific function should go in regardless.

 There was no real concensus on what the name should be, but stripPrefix
 seems to have at least as much support as anything else. dropPrefix was
 disliked as it returned a Maybe type, unlike all other drop* functions.
