--- Comment #1 from Vladimir Panteleev <thecybershadow at gmail.com> ---
I think this issue is already reported elsewhere.

As of DMD 2.066, you can use windowsHandleOpen to create std.stdio.File objects
from arbitrary HANDLEs. This allows circumventing snn.lib's Unicode problems if
you can replace File creation with custom code.

I've done this for another reason, accessing very long paths using the UNC path
prefix: https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae/blob/master/sys/file.d#L686-L737
