Regex.Match parameter name "startat" should be camel case

[cesarsouza]

Hi,

Currently, the parameters of Regex.Match(string, int) are called "input" and "startat". Shouldn't the latter be named "startAt" to match the rest of the framework's naming conventions?

runtime/src/libraries/System.Text.RegularExpressions/src/System/Text/RegularExpressions/Regex.Match.cs

Line 89 in 6072e4d

public Match Match(string input, int startat)

Wouldn't it be a breaking change for those who use named parameters?

Yes it would be a breaking change and this is why we are stuck with it. Thanks for the suggestion.
