[issue24284] Inconsistency in startswith/endswith

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I think this can only be applied in a feature release (and I think it should be, because of the backward-compatibility-with-python2 issue).  However, since this is potentially controversial, we need some more opinions.
