RFR: 8164781: Pattern.asPredicate specification is incomplete

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Vivek,

Can we do something to make the first sentence less confusing?
How about:

* Creates a predicate that tests a given input string for a subsequence 
that matches this pattern.

-or-

* Creates a predicate that tests if this pattern is found in a given 
input string. Thanks, Roger
