Idiom #167 Trim prefix

Create the string t consisting of the string s with its prefix p removed (if s starts with p).

var t = s.startsWith(p) ? s.replaceFirst(p,"") : s;
var t = s.startsWith(p) ? s.substring(p.length, s.length) : s;
#include <string.h>
size_t l = strlen(p);
const char * t = strncmp(s, p, l) ? s : s + l;

strlen computes the prefix length and strncmp returns zero if the first l characters match
