without really looking, probably because of invalid utf sequences 
potentially throwing. Using the .representation thingy might help 
if im right about this.

A good way to try this is to edit your copy of the Phobos file 
and add nothrow to it. That should give an error inside that is 
more descriptive. (I would love if the compiler would do this 
automatically, we were talking about maybe making that mod on irc 
yesterday).
