[LANG-1682] Adding new startsWithAnyIgnoreCase method and tests cases

[laurentschoelens]

Adding new method startsWithAnyIgnoreCase method for case-insensitive version of startsWithAny

[garydgregory]

My preference is to stop adding APIs that are variations of other APIs based on the casing (and encoding and so on). In the longer term, I can see adding a new String utility class that tracks such an attribute on its instance such that you'd say something like Strings.caseSensitive().someOperation(...) and Strings.caseInsensitive().someOperation(...).

Thanks for the reply.
Is there any plans for this ? It's huge refactoring.

It's something I'd like to do and might take a swing at when I am on vacation in April...

Like you expose the calling to this new Strings class, it looks like you're creating new instance (like a builder) and that should lead to memory impact and performances issues (as I see it)

If not, this could lead to thread-safety issues. But again I don't know what you want to do
