Thanks for reviving this.
I am perfectly happy with the idea of deprecating the
Path.{start,ends}With(String), and then only add the file extension method.
Originally, I didn't know that new method was on the table, so I suggested a
rename. But the file extension api feels like the superior solution.
10 times out of 10, if I am calling endsWith, the only time I am not looking
for "whole" path elements is when I am looking for a file extension. In every
other instance, the api does exactly what I expect and want. And plus,
something like looking for a file extension is better off being explicit.
