Ok.
By the way Ruby has "start_with?" and "end_with?". So the thing we can
discuss, if we go this way are:
1) with an "s" after the verb or not?
2) should we use "start" or "begin"?
3) with an underscore, nothing or camelCase
My preference is:
1) with an "s"
2) "start"
3) underscore
so that gives: starts_with() and ends_with()
Thanks,
Christian.
