title: Is String.length() invoked for a final String?
body: <p>A quickie just to get peace of mind:<br>
  Considering the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>final String str = "This is the end";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is <code>str.length()</code> evaluated at runtime or is it hardcoded as 15 in the bytecode?</p>
