yes. and i chose koi8. yet many utilities tend to ignore my locale
when reading files (hey, D compiler, i'm talking about you!). i don't
care about localized messages (i'm using English messages anyway), but
trying to tell me that my text file is invalid utf-8, or my filename is
invalid utf-8, or spitting utf-8 encoded messages to my terminal drives
me mad. what is so wrong with locale detection that virtually nobody
does that? we have iconv, it's readily available on any decent
GNU/Linux platform, yet it's still so hard to detect that stinky locale
and convert that stinky utf-8 to it? BS. (hey, phobos, i'm talking about
your stdout.write() here too!)

the whole "utf-8 or die" attitude has something very wrong in it.
