An encoder is configured up to the task (with onMalformedInput()
etc.). A generic cache is...

I think I found it:
java.nio.charset.Charset.encode(String)
java.nio.charset.Charset.encode(CharBuffer)

The latter method uses thread-local cache (in Java 7).

Some feeling of deja-vu is because of discussion of decoders that we
had 3 years ago. See code in ByteChunk.toStringInternal() as a result
of that.
