Lower overhead String encoding/decoding

[Xueming Shen]

Richard,

I'm still planning to be the sponsor for this RFE and get this one into 
the jdk9. We are current working on
JEP 254 [1][2][3]in which the internal storage mechanism is changed from 
char[] to byte[].  If this JEP get
approved and is scheduled to target JDK9, the decoding/encoding pieces 
will also need to be updated/
changed accordingly. Given that I would prefer to delay this RFE a 
little more till all pieces are settled.

Regards,
Sherman
