AFAIK, the standard text encoding on posix today is utf-8, so D adheres to this
standard.

Shebang is sort of brittle by design. It works only for text files (which
doesn't always hold) and if the text file encoding matches that of your system.
If both conditions don't hold, you should find another way, like finding
executable by file extension - that works independently of file content.
