[swift-dev] Fwd: [swift-users] hasSuffix(_:) and .hasPrefix(_:) String methods missing on Linux

[Alex Blewitt]

There’s a FIXME and a radar (18878343) in the source for StringLegacy:

https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/core/StringLegacy.swift#L98

Can the information be re-created as a SwiftBug instead?
