byte to char safe?

I have no idea what you're asking.  To take a blind stab: writef expects
any char[] you give it to be in utf8 format.  Actually, EVERYTHING
assumes that char[] is in utf8.

Again, I'm not sure what you're asking.  char[] is utf8, which means
that ANY code unit in the range \x80..\xff is invalid by itself.  If
you're storing binary data, use ubyte[].

const NEWLINE = "\n";

What's the issue?
