@erfannariman can you merge master and get tests to pass. also can you add a benchmark.

Is there a benefit to using the builtin if py39 else using the fallback

and also for the fallback is there any benefit to having two maps followed by a np.where over just using the fallback function (len(prefix) is invariant so the mapper function can be defined in a closure)

This does not close the issue? need to add removesuffix also?

This should also work for StringArray. can you use any_string_dtype in the tests
