SR-1246: Inconsistent naming and declaration of String & NSString derivative properties and functions

Hello,

I have been advised to post the bug report [SR-1246] Inconsistent naming and declaration of String & NSString derivative properties and functions · Issue #4159 · apple/swift-corelibs-foundation · GitHub on swift-evolution, so here it is:

In the latest swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-04-12-a.xctoolchain (master), there are inconsistencies in the following declarations:

    extension String {
        public func lowercased() -> String
        public func uppercased() -> String
    }

    extension NSString {
        public var uppercased: String { get }
        public var lowercased: String { get }
        public var capitalized: String { get }
        public var localizedUppercase: String { get }
        public var localizedLowercase: String { get }
        public var localizedCapitalized: String { get }
    }

We see that we have sometimes properties, sometimes functions, and they sometimes end in -ed, and sometimes not.
