Github user stokito commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/278 For me is not clear importance of the new methods. I can't remember situations when I needed for something like this. And even if I need something like this I'll write the function myself and I'll not even think about to search something in Commons Lang library. Time spent to looking for the method will be ten time more then write myself. Maybe commons lang itself uses the function internally then it can make sense. It would be great if you can give us an examples of usage and how they are important.
