Hi,

My preference would be to keep the offsets immediately following the CharSequence,
that clearly identifies the substring being operated on.

Noone brought it up, as far as I can recall. Since parseInt(String, int radix) already existed, I figured adding the range parameters to the end would be overall less awkward than to push the radix parameter right in the new methods. The chosen implementation maintains that the second parameter is always radix, which I think helps maintain consistency.
I think consistency could be argued both ways as the radix is also the last parameter in the existing methods. When I look at this method:

public static int parseInt(CharSequence s, int radix, int beginIndex, int endIndex)

and then feels more error prone than if the beginIndex/endIndex were immediately after the CharSequence.

I'm interested in other opinions on this.
