Multiple strings can share the same char[] because strings are immutable.
* The {@link #substring} method always returns a string that
* shares the backing array of its source string. Generally this is an
* optimization: fewer character arrays need to be allocated, and less copying
* is necessary. But this can also lead to unwanted heap retention. Taking a
* short substring of long string means that the long shared char[] won't be
* garbage until both strings are garbage. This typically happens when parsing
* small substrings out of a large input. To avoid this where necessary, call
* {@code new String(longString.subString(...))}. The string copy constructor
* always ensures that the backing array is no larger than necessary.
