I agree!

Is the whole string module deprecated, or only those parts
which are now available as string methods? I think trying to
eliminate the string module altogether would be a mistake,
since it would leave nowhere for string operations that don't
make sense as methods of a string.

The current version of commonprefix is a case in point,
since it operates symmetrically on a collection of strings.
