Function to prepend a string

[orgadish]

Related to #480 but a different use case:

Often I want to prepend a string that I've built with a standard R pipe (|>), but when piped, str_c only works to add after.

long |>
  pipe() |>
  building_text() %>% 
  {str_c("new_text", .)}

becomes

long |>
  pipe() |>
  building_text() |> 
  str_prepend("new_text")

You can do this with the native pipe like so:

"foo" |> stringr::str_c("new_text ", ... = _)
#> [1] "new_text foo"

Unlike the magrittr placeholder, you must explicitly specify the name of the argument when using the _ placeholder.
