Umm.. This will be completely transparent to developers, strings will fall back to Javas weirdo UCS2/UTF16 when necessary automatically.

This might actually be slower (you have a lot of strings which have UCS2 characters down the line, have to reallocate array and copy everything over)

Aren't Java Strings immutable? Once built, they won't be modified.

You still need t construct them from e.g. array of bytes.
