koi8: one symbol == one byte.
utf8: one symbol == ... ah, who knows? only Shadow knows...

koi8-u is enough for me. i can use three languages with it and still
have my strings easily indexable. it's ok to use utf-8 when i need to
interchange some data with "outer world" -- i.e. send or receive some
text over network. but i can't see why i must use utf-8 for my local
data. i know what i'm doing yet... yet i can't have koi8 string in my D
code without ugly "\x" escapes. i can't have koi8 text in my comments.
Great Lord, it's just comments, it's not even DDoc, why can't i write
anything i want there?!
