						Function std.algorithm.searching.commonPrefix
Returns the common prefix of two ranges.
						
				auto auto commonPrefix(alias pred, R1, R2)
				(
				
				  R1 r1,
				
				  R2 r2
				
				)
				
				if (isForwardRange!R1 && isInputRange!R2 && !isNarrowString!R1 && is(typeof(binaryFun!pred(r1
				
				auto auto commonPrefix(alias pred, R1, R2)
				(
				
				  R1 r1,
				
				  R2 r2
				
				)
				
				if (isNarrowString!R1 && isInputRange!R2 && is(typeof(binaryFun!pred(r1
				
				auto auto commonPrefix(R1, R2)
				(
				
				  R1 r1,
				
				  R2 r2
				
				)

				auto auto commonPrefix(R1, R2)

				Parameters
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| pred | The predicate to use in comparing elements for commonality. Defaults
        to equality "a == b". | 
| r1 | A forward range of elements. | 
| r2 | An input range of elements. | 
Returns
A slice of r1 which contains the characters that both ranges start with,
if the first argument is a string; otherwise, the same as the result of
takeExactly(r1, n), where n is the number of elements in the common
prefix of both ranges.
