[PATCH 1/1] general style: replaces memcmp() with starts_with()

[Quint Guvernator <quintus.public@gmail.com>]

memcmp() is replaced with negated starts_with() when comparing strings
from the beginning and when it is logical to do so. starts_with() looks
nicer and it saves the extra argument of the length of the comparing
string.
