+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:
