title: Can we avoid interning of strings in java?
body: <p>Can we completely disable interning of strings. It might not be really helpful, but just a thought. I can think atleast one point where it could be helpful i.e. during jvm tuning, controlling the size of the perm gen. </p>
  
  <p>For e.g. if I give out an OSGI framework and anyone can add any number of bundles of their own and each bundles string interning can completely screw up my tuning parameters. (Ofcourse I know that we should do tuning on a given fixed distro, but still...)</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts!!</p>
