Title:
  Option for basename to strip prefix in stead of suffix

Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: coreutils

  The tool basename should have an option to strip prefix in stead of
  suffix.

  Now it can only cut off characters at the end of a string, but for
  some operations it is desirable to cut chararcters from the beginning
  of the string.

  Implementing this request will allow users to have more control over
  using derived versions of filenames.
