modernize-use-starts-ends-with
==============================

Checks for common roundabout ways to express ``starts_with`` and ``ends_with``
and suggests replacing with the simpler method when it is available. Notably,
this will work with ``std::string`` and ``std::string_view``.

Covered scenarios:
