#15493 was closed and redone as #15530, which introduced an internal-only API to turn a `BitSet` into a stable constant-friendly `IntPredicate`. Since the new API is internal we used the application of this `IntPredicate` in `URLEncoder` to verify performance, so this PR will have to merge with master and resolve the conflicts.
