Don't do this.  Just learn these 5 names, or use apropos, as
has been suggested.  Though curiously, downcase is
string-downcase in CL, but that only really does work for
strings.

(BTW, a tangent, what do you think of CL's hyperspec reference?

Check out

and

Do you think this organization would be useful? What if it had a cool
font and some cool logos? :-)  I ask because that put me off at first, it
looked mouldy.)

truncate-string-to-width (I got there with apropos truncate.*string btw).

Let's make a 'chomp' function.  I'm always looking for that. Though there
is a string-trim already (sigh).

subseq

Add an "from-end" arg to subseq?

(cl-loop repeat num concat s)

capitalize,  also works for chars.

> s-reverse (s)

reverse, also works for sequences

string-match-p

> s-blank-p (s)

ugh. nil is a string?

Hope it helps,
