Note to self:

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/26_glo_s.htm#satisfy_the_test
[18:20]  <yates> ?
[18:21]  <yates> do you disagree with the definition?

[18:24]  <fe[nl]ix> adeht: how so ?
[18:25]  <adeht> fe[nl]ix, for example you'd expect
(starts-with-subseq "foo" "oop" :start1 1) to return true... but (i)
it passes args to mismatch in the reverse order so start1 becomes
start2 and (ii) it compares the result of mismatch to the whole
prefix's length, so returns false
