String Replacements Class

Public Function StripMatchingBeginLineFast( _
      ByRef vLine As String _
    , ByRef vFind As String _
    , ByRef vCompare As VbCompareMethod _
    ) As String

Strip vFind from vLine only if it appears at the beginning of vLine, otherwise return the string vLine unchanged.
Faster version of the StripMatchingBeginLine function which uses restrictive argument types to avoid argument fix-up code.

Examples: 
    StripMatchingBeginLineFast("This is a test.", "This", vbBinaryCompare) = " is a test."
    StripMatchingBeginLineFast("This is a test.", " is ", vbBinaryCompare) = "This is a test.
    StripMatchingBeginLineFast("This is a test.", "", vbBinaryCompare) = "This is a test. ' Behavior #1
