I don't have a vote, but, if I did, I would vote very high in favor of
all such decisions. Hard coding is not good for lots of reasons, in my
opinion. If the -1s mean the same thing "all over the place", then they
should be identified as to what they mean in all places with the value
put in one place. In my opinion, this is one of the more valuable knee
jerks we should have.

Speaking of "-1"s. I wonder if we should create a constant for the "-1
means NOT_FOUND" concept. This value is hard coded all over the place in
ArrayUtils. It seems to me like it would make the code more readable.

Subject: [lang] ArrayUtils.lastIndex
ArrayUtils.lastIndex
This method is effectively:
array.length - 1
with null checks
This method was added in the 1.41 version of ArrayUtils. I want to
remove
it, as it really doesn't seem to add any value over and above
getLength().
The original bug request didn't ask for it either:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26594
I intend to remove the method unless I hear objections.
