You're welcome.

Even if not, it's probably trivial to slap one together, and test it,
in less than a day in Clojure.

As for generating your candidate seqs of prefixes and suffixes, just
cons onto an initial nil in your reduction* and you'll end up with a
seq that, traversed forwards, goes from longest candidate to shortest.
For suffixes you'll want to (map #(apply str (reverse %)) the-seq),
though, to get the suffixes the right way around (since they'll need
to be stored reversed in their tree).
