I have not tested much with UTF16 and std.stdio, but I don't believe the 
underlying FILE * being used by phobos has good support for it.

In my testing, for instance, byLine with a non-ascii delimeter didn't 
work at all.

On Windows 64-bit, MSVC simply ignores any attempts to change the width 
of the stream.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for this to be fixed.
