-----------------------------------------

Hello! We unfortunately have a number of inconsistencies, and would be happy to fix this one. Would you like to work on it? I'd be happy to show you what needs to be done.

> While testing out the libcloud storage abstraction I've come across a curious omission in driver support. It seems that for many drivers there is additional support for the {{list_container_objects()}} and {{iterate_container_objects()}} to support a prefix (or {{ex_prefix)}}. 
> This functionality is not present in the Azure driver for some reason.   I've gone and checked the list_blobs API and it also supports this functionality as seen here:
> [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/list-blobs]
>  
> I've attempted a quick and dirty patch that seems to work as well.

> I've just worked around this at a higher level for now. There isn't any urgency on my end,  but it would be nice if the abstraction was more consistent so I could remove the workaround code.
