Can we deprecate Path.endsWith(String)?

[Brian Burkhalter]

In the list below I omitted adding Path.{ends,starts}WithString(String) which is different from item 3 in the list.

Among doubtlessly many others, one alternative is

1. Leave Path.{ends,starts}With(Path) unchanged
2. Deprecate Path.{ends,starts}With(String)
3. Add Path.pathString{ends,starts}With(String)

where "pathstring" in effect implies the value of Path.toString().
