My Win version doesn't even start to parse the source file if an ASCII

If I create an a.d (ö is #f6):
void main()
  {
   //hög
  }

And then run:
$ dmd a

The result is:
a.d(3): invalid UTF-8 sequence

I think that would be nice to somehow tell the parser which format is 
the source file. It could be a command line parameter
-encoding:ANSI|UTF-8|etc.
or the first line of the file should contain that like
//!Encoding: ANSI
