If you search the JDK repo for GetStringUTFChars, you will find several uses
that do not appear to involve serialization or data input/output.
It is not obvious whether these uses are correct or not.
Consider test/jdk/java/nio/channels/FileChannel/directio/libDirectIO.c
where GetStringUTFChars is used to convert a file path to pass to open().
At the very least, anyone using GetStringUTFChars as a short cut for true UTF-8
conversion should document why this short cut is correct, as is done in
awt_InputMethod, for example.
