Though since they're porting from Java, and a Java String[1] is 
immutable, an invariant string is actually the correct translation...
(And with array pseudo-methods, AFAICT the only aspect of Java String 
use that can't be emulated exactly is the use of '+' for concatenation 
instead of '~'. It's been a while since I used Java though, so I may be 
overlooking something)


[1] Mutable strings are implemented by StringBuffer, IIRC.
