Add StringIndexOutOfBoundsException and use it in String

@dicej I don't think this will work that way. Java doesn't narrow the type after an instanceof check automatically, afaik, so o is still considered to be of type Object. Or did I misunderstand something?

[dicej]

The signature of the method is "public boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String)", which means we (and the compiler, and the VM) already know the argument is a String. The instanceof check is only there because somebody (probably me) cut-and-pasted code from equals(Object) without thinking about it and realizing that check is pointless.

[dicej]

To further clarify, this is what I'm proposing, with more context:

public boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String o) {
   return this == o || (o.length == length && compareToIgnoreCase(o) == 0);
}

Ouch, sorry. The GitHub diff made it look like the code was inside the equals method. Sorry for the noise. Will fix this.

@dicej Fixed.

Thanks, Simon!
