Much faster than regex, and useful for doing simple find and replace operations for specific strings. - [starts-with-any](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/starts-with-any): Returns true if the given string or array begins with any of the given substrings. ## Contributing Pull requests and stars are always welcome.
