Naive question: any reason as to why we're not providing a new static API method in Charset to return the platform encoder? This initially will return same thing as Charset.defaultEncoder - but as JEP 400 is delivered the two will diverge. Any reason as to why we don't want to expose the platform encoder in the API? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3777
