I wonder if it could work like this.

Perhaps GC could notice a giant string encumbered by a few small
strings, and could do a new String for you and gc the base string.

If you don't need the base string itself, I think most of the time you
are best off to do the new string.

For what I do, I am peeling off small strings from a big string which
represents a file image.  I keep the big string to the last minute.
Encumbering works well for me.
