1464,Proposal: add dropPrefix to Data.List,igloo,,"I seem to have a copy of this function in everything I write sooner or later, so I'd like to propose its addition to Data.List. It strips a prefix from a list and, if successful, returns the tail. I often use it with pattern guards:
{{{
foo :: String -> IO ()
foo x
 | Just y <- dropPrefix ""foo="" = putStrLn (""foo is "" ++ show y)
foo _ = putStrLn ""Unknown""
}}}
but you can of course achieve the same by using case etc.

Let's try 11 July for a discussion deadline.",proposal,closed,normal,Not GHC,libraries/base,6.6.1,fixed,,,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,,Unknown,,,,
