Is there trouble calling intern()? Is it going to be more efficient to do
it in the VM instead? I hesitate to make it a VM thing if there is not a
real benefit to doing it. Adding to the interface complicates things for
future implementors. (Though String.intern() could be implemented in the
reference implementation to just use the Hashtable like it is doing now.)
