Hello all;

This change originated as part of JDK-8006627 (which was also previously split into JDK-8007398 as well). It adds an internal mechanism for performance sensitive usages to create a string from a provided character array without copying that array. This saves both in the allocation (and subsequent GC) as well as the copying of the characters. There are a few places in the JDK that return Strings which can benefit from this change. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/JDK-8013528/0/webrev/ Fear not, JDK-8006627 and JDK-8007398 will be revisited... For now it would be to get this change in to allow other potential users to move forward with their changes. Mike Looks good to me.

Yeap, look fine to me too.
