Add a prefix or suffix to a string *only if the string does not yet
have it*
Hi,
As the functions do not always *add* a prefix, I'd suggest to consider
names like `ensure_prefix` or `enforce_prefix` instead.
Something like `ensure_str_starts_with` or `ensure_starts_with` would be
a nicer fit with the `str_starts_with`, but then it doesn't rhyme with
the other prefix/suffix functions that well.
Otherwise I can only say that I've had to solve the same tasks in
multiple projects, so I'd enjoy such functions being available in PHP
itself.
