Based on the JDK1.3 JavaDocs this would seem to be correct.
However, it has always seemed to me to be bad style to try to force values
to be interned in this way as you're working around the JVM--perhaps as some
kind of theoried performance improvement?
Think twice before relying on a function that is to tell the JVM what to do
with its memory pool... you probably won't see much benefit anyway.
