Maybe just a new URL parameter for all views to query by prefix?
_all_docs?prefix="_design/"
'prefix' will need startkey_docid and/or endkey_docid, but could
handle the proper prefix matching without the user having to worry
about what the next character in the collating sequence is.
IMHO the prefix= param is a fine thing for CouchDB to implement. If
anyone has a patch, please share. There may be implementation edge
cases, I haven't really thought it through. Hopefully a patch and a
test case will be all that's needed to ensure that it's done
correctly.

(5) Strangely, doc id keys in _all_docs appear to behave

perhaps they are ASCII-compared rather than UCA compared. See
script 3

And this has just had me tearing my hair out for the last half
hour: a
search for
_all_docs?startkey="_design/"&endkey="_design/ZZZZ"
did not match some of my documents, e.g. _design/c000. Now I
realise that
almost certainly this is because Z comes before c in ASCII
collation.
Is this intentional behaviour? If so I will change the Wiki so it
recommends
_all_docs?startkey="_design/"&endkey="_design/~"
Isn't it better to use "\u9999" as the ending marker?
\u9999 isn't the final unicode collation point - firstly that's
not the last
value in a 16 bit space, secondly unicode isn't 16 bits, and
finally,
unicode collation is locale dependent.
I've previously argued that the only way to do this correctly is
to allow a
prefix search defined over all JSON values:
