Optimizing applications programs is a bad thing. It makes the code
hard to maintain. But optimising the hot spot or the JVM benefits
everyone without any penalty to application programmers.  The JVM guys
fret over much more minor optimisations than this. This logically
pointless copy is a huge time waster for any kind of string
composition.
