Please have another look beyond the first few examples on that page
where the "str" and "s" prefix feature prominently.

Also note the different kinds of uses for the function you mention
(e.g. "bytes :: String -> ByteString") and the examples further down
(e.g. "strTrim :: a -> a").  This shows that the library designers
have been judicious in their use of prefixes.  We would probably be
wise to exercise similar care.
