Java-like startsWith() in JavaScript

In Java you have some cool String functions like startsWith which can be used like this:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
  boolean startsWith = "Hello World".startsWith("Hello");
  System.out.println(startsWith); // true
}

In JavaScript you can have something similar with a bit of work:

<script type="text/javascript">
  String.prototype.startsWith = function(pattern){
    return (this.match('^' + pattern) == pattern);
  }
 
  var startsWith = "Hello World".startsWith("Hello");
  document.write(startsWith); // true
</script>
