 I'm tracking down memory leaks in kaffe ---
what's the deal with INTERN_UTF8CONSTS?
I understand that it was an attempt by Per Bothner to implement what?
interning of all utf8s?

In any event:

+ is it working?
+ does anybody still understand how it worked?
+ do we need it?
+ are there any objections to removing it?

It's causing gc-allocated objects to be explicitly freed (which is
at this point silently ignored in gcFree), and it's causing memory
leaks when it's not clear whether an object to free.
