Rename beginswith to startswith

[mweastwood]

This fixes a v0.4 deprecation warning.

On a related note, did the changes in 996d7be break v0.3 compatibility? It seems to me the Dicts need the @compat macro applied to them.

Apparently not.

This fix would need @compat all over the changes, whenever Compat.jl implements it (I didn't check if it does already). It also needs to update the REQUIRE file to the appropriate version of Compat.

The syntax Dict{T,S}() was supported in julia 0.3, it's just the non-empty version Dict{T,S}(a=>b, c=>d...) which is new (and was in fact annotated with @compat where it's used, i.e. in the tests).

using Compat defines startswith = Base.beginswith after a version check here. So I don't think the @compat macro is necessary for this change.

Ok, I've updated the REQUIRE file.

Ah right you are, sorry. Can you squash the two commits? Then it's good to go.
