Title: Fix for issue# 8323.

I decided to improve the documentation for some of std.string's
functions and ended up optimizing their implementations as well (I
benchmarked the new versions against the old versions, so they should
definitely be faster). I also ran into bug# 8323, so I fixed it as well (`chompPrefix`
was assuming that the string types it was given had the same character type
even though it took differing string types).
