        java_lang_String has hash and coder fields initialized as optional, which no longer seems relevant (this appears to be a remnant of hsx, which is no longer supported)

        This adds code complexity and since 9 adds the coder field there is even a potential for performance regressions compared to 8u if/when hardware branch prediction fails
