I think the root cause is the stateless nature of `ZipFile.Source` and the 
stateful nature of `ZipCoder`. Exposing the UTF8 coder as stateless in 
class-level docs IMO increases complexity; it is just an implementation 
artifact that allows `ZipCoder.get` to return the same singleton instead of 
recreating a new instance to carry states. We shouldn't promote the storage of 
any `ZipCoder` in `Source`.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/zip/ZipCoder.java line 44:

I think the "thread safe" feature is already implied by the comment on UTF8: 
"Encoding/decoding is stateless". So I recommend just mentioning that a 
ZipCoder may carry states, and a ZipCoder obtained from `ZipCoder.get` should 
only be used locally.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/zip/ZipFile.java line 1145:

Should we comment that this class has no observable state in addition to being 
thread safe?
