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.
