[Daniel Sun (JIRA)]

Daniel Sun updated GROOVY-8831:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
The reason why we add {{String}} instance methods is to improve performance to 
some extent and reduce the size of class file:


{code:java}
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
def y() {
    "abc${'123'}def".toUpperCase()
}
{code}


*Original:*
{code:java}
    NEW org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/GStringImpl
    DUP
    ICONST_1
    ANEWARRAY java/lang/Object
    DUP
    ICONST_0
    LDC "123"
    AASTORE
    ICONST_2
    ANEWARRAY java/lang/String
    DUP
    ICONST_0
    LDC "abc"
    AASTORE
    DUP
    ICONST_1
    LDC "def"
    AASTORE
    INVOKESPECIAL org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/GStringImpl.<init> 
([Ljava/lang/Object;[Ljava/lang/String;)V
    INVOKESTATIC 
org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/typehandling/ShortTypeHandling.castToString 
(Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/String;
    CHECKCAST java/lang/String
    INVOKEVIRTUAL java/lang/String.toUpperCase ()Ljava/lang/String;
    ARETURN
{code}
*After change:*
{code:java}
    NEW org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/GStringImpl
    DUP
    ICONST_1
    ANEWARRAY java/lang/Object
    DUP
    ICONST_0
    LDC "123"
    AASTORE

    DUP
