Extends the abstract Constant to represent a reference to a UTF-8 encoded string.

The following system properties govern caching this class performs.

SYS_PROP_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES (since 6.4): The size of the cache, by default 0, meaning caching is disabled.
SYS_PROP_CACHE_MAX_ENTRY_SIZE (since 6.0): The maximum size of the values to cache, by default 200, 0 disables caching. Values larger than this are not cached.
SYS_PROP_STATISTICS (since 6.0): Prints statistics on the console when the JVM exits.

Here is a sample Maven invocation with caching disabled:

mvn test -Dbcel.statistics=true -Dbcel.maxcached.size=0 -Dbcel.maxcached=0

Here is a sample Maven invocation with caching enabled:

mvn test -Dbcel.statistics=true -Dbcel.maxcached.size=100000 -Dbcel.maxcached=5000000
