Your ctrl-shift-T is a good illustration of 'code bloat' ;)

For me that brings up:
org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.StringPool
org.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.StringPool
org.eclipse.core.internal.utils.StringPool

All of which are identical.

Eclipse then has a org.eclipse.core.internal.utils.StringPoolJob which
calls 'shareStrings(StringPool)' on participating
IStringPoolParticipants.  Given that StringPool.add() uses a HashMap
to reimplement String.intern() I wonder what the performance
difference is between StringPool and String.intern()...
