Yes I do. You mean "intern" rather than "interred". Yes, there are a number of applications in which interned strings are a good idea, but perhaps not as many as you imagine. Unfortunately, the Object class in CLR and Java has mutable fields (notably the lock word), so the interning of strings is semantically visible.
