Fellow Chicken advocates,
I'm pleased to announce that the string manipulation egg, now titled s,
is available with chicken-install. Thanks again to all those who helped
familiarize me with the Chicken way of doing things. And thanks to those
unnamed people on IRC that helped with countless

I've been in this situation often enough. My boiler-plate solution
is to create yet another module which imports all of the prefixed

I've proposed a new type of import specifier to go with prefix,
namely drop-prefix. Rather than prefixing all names, this removes
the prefix from any names that have it. This would be a Good Thing to
add to Chicken; Chibi already has it, and it is part of a proposal for
R7RS-large.

Of course it would, and the Perl substitute command would be more general
still. For that matter, you could allow an arbitrary Scheme procedure to
be provided. But drop-prefix is dead simple, has precedent, and is
easy to understand and use.
Why not have both?

I think it sounds good as an official egg; although there's a lot of overlap
with SRFI-13 it's not bad to have another API.
The main thing I'd suggest if making it official is that, as a port of the s
