I have to ask, when is this useful?
Couldn't you have a function that returns the string length?

public int StringLenght (String s){
return s.length();
}

Sure, if you want to expose yourself to security risks. 
Real programmers feed their strings to Amazon Mechanical Turk, who count the characters manually. Including the invisible ones.

Don't worry. I'm sure some patent troll owns the "strlen" patent. They should receive a DMCA Takedown soon.
