If you look at the history of `newStringNoRepl`, you will find it's originally added for JDK-8201276 in ca487166f4d18c162e8d8e4b2660d5d0381c5438. Since then, `newStringNoRepl` has been used by various other sites mostly as a utility. None of those further usages ever used the `CharacterCodingException`. In fact, in `String`, the actual implementation throws an IAE that is later wrapped in a CCE. I don't think we should punish all other users of this API just because `Files.readString` requires this CCE; the CCE wrapping can be moved to Files.readString.
