startsWith and endsWith are not exported

[LTLA]

Is this an oversight, or intentional?

library(IRanges)
X <- CharacterList(split(LETTERS, 1:26))
startsWith(X, "A")
## Error in startsWith("A", X) : non-character object(s)
IRanges:::startsWith(X, "A") ## works

@lawremi Michael? You added the startsWith() and endsWith() methods (commit 52bc2e4). Thx

Yes, it was intentional, to avoid the need to support them, but I guess that was unsuccessful ;)
