IS_PREFIX is prefix a prefix of path?

canonicalization and normalization are NOT performed duplicated slashes are dropped

function s = is_prefix(prefix, pth)
arguments
  prefix (1,1) string
  pth (1,1) string
end

pr = stdlib.drop_slash(prefix);
p = stdlib.drop_slash(pth);

Lp = stdlib.len(p);

s = Lp && startsWith(p, pr) && (Lp >= stdlib.len(pr));

end

%!assert(is_prefix("a", "a"))
%!assert(is_prefix("a", "a/"))
%!assert(is_prefix("a", "a/b"))
%!assert(!is_prefix("a/b/c", "a/b"))
