I understood that the complaint was that using literals with startsWith()
didn't
work. It was also my understanding that string literals were immutable(char
[]).
I guess that I misunderstood. Well, then that's fine. Having a range variable
that you explicitly made immutable not work with algorithms makes sense. It's
just that having string literals fall in that camp would be a big problem and
that was my concern.
