I think `NoRepl` means "no replace", it's an ambiguous acronym.

It cannot be replaced by `new String(byte[], int, int, Charset)` because the constructor will replaces malformed-input and unmappable-character sequences with this charset's default replacement string.

I think throwing an exception when malformed or unmappable bytes is encountered is a useful behavior, and maybe a new public API should be provided to users.
