Some of these functions might be useful.
For instance, concat-and-truncate-string-left might be
useful to add (but not until after the release).

Some, such as nonempty-string-p, are clearly so simple
that there's no point in defining them.

Most of the rest just don't see very widely useful.
But if we find that they are widely useful, we could add them.
