Can we deprecate Path.endsWith(String)?

[Brian Burkhalter]

If Path.endsWith(String) and possibly Path.startsWith(String) were to be deprecated, then perhaps something like Path.{start,end}sWIthString(String) could be replacements?

Because having to type path.endsWith(path.getFileSystem().getPath(other)) is not only a lot more verbose but my IDE also complains that I don't close the result of calling path.getFileSystem() (which of course I shouldn't), so I have to suppress the warning.
