I love it! This is very much needed and should go into Phobos yesterday!

Solves the problem of:
char[] foo = "hög";
assert(foo.length == 3); // Sorry UTF-8, this is == 4
assert(foo[1] == 'ö');   // Not a chance!

You implementation of string could be a perfect wrapper that makes the 
fact that UTF-8 is of variable char size, invisible to the programmer.
