`newStringNoRepl` is originally intended to decode byte and throw an exception 
instead of putting a `?` when there is encoding error.  By chance, it does not 
copy the input array if the input array is compatible as backing storage.  As a 
result, we use it as "avoid copying" which has deviated from its initial 
purpose.
