After some internal discussion, we thought it was good to expose the native 
environment's default character encoding, which Charset.defaultCharset() is 
currently based on. This way applications will have a better migration path 
after the [JEP 400](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/400) is implemented, in which 
Charset.defaultCharset() will return UTF-8, but the value of this new system 
property will remain intact. A 
[CSR](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8266075) has been filed with 
more detailed information.
