  - validatePrefix
```
public static String validatePrefix(@Nullable
                                    String prefix)
```
    Checks that "prefix" is a valid prefix for a join clause (see JoinableClause.getPrefix()) and, if so, returns it. Otherwise, throws an exception.
  - isPrefixedBy
```
public static boolean isPrefixedBy(String columnName,
                                   String prefix)
```
  - unprefix
```
public static String unprefix(String columnName,
                              String prefix)
```
    Removes the prefix on columnName. Must only be called if the column name is actually prefixed; i.e., if isPrefixedBy(String, String) would return true on the same arguments.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if columnName does not start with prefix
  - checkPrefixesForDuplicatesAndShadowing
```
public static void checkPrefixesForDuplicatesAndShadowing(List<String> prefixes)
```
    Check if any prefixes in the provided list duplicate or shadow each other.
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefixes - A mutable list containing the prefixes to check. This list will be sorted by descending string length.
