Nice idea and thanks for checking the problem with the out-of-bounds
read.

Out of consistency with the unreadable strstarts I'm tempted to use
strends.

Since checking suffix of a string can't be something that unreal I
searched for the 3 function name and to my surprise all 3 suggested name
have a variant of the function statically defined hahaha.

To not pollute this series I will just introduce the helper but I will
add on my TODO list to convert the other function to make use of this
helper instead.
