Specifically, given the strings ABCX, CDAX and BCX, it was reporting
the unambiguous set as A, BCX and CDAX, which is wrong since A is a
substring of CDAX.

unambiguous_prefixes is now quite a bit of a mess, but so is the rest
of the literal extraction code. The only thing it has going for it is
a massive test suite.

Fixes #289
