   -@defun string-limit string length &optional end
   +@defun string-prefix string length

This doesn't map very well to string-prefix-p.  The previous names are
better, but still not good I think.  Since this is so very much
similar to substring, why not substring-suffix/prefix or
substring-last/start?
