 * *`trimPrefix $prefix $string`*: If `$prefix` is a prefix of `$string`, return `$string` with `$prefix` trimmed from the beginning. Otherwise, return `$string` unchanged.
 * *`trimSuffix $suffix $string`*: If `$suffix` is a suffix of `$string`, return `$string` with `$suffix` trimmed from the end. Otherwise, return `$string` unchanged.
+* *`where $containers $fieldPath $value`*: Filters an array of `RuntimeContainer` instances based on the values of a field path expression `$fieldPath`. A field path expression is a dot-delimited list of map keys or struct member names specifying the path from container to a nested value, which must be a string. Returns an array of containers having that value.
