At times I find myself wondering if the D string (i.e. invariant char[]) 
is such a good idea when it (sort-of implicitly) means string of utf8. 
After all, it could be construed as being just a "quick and good-enough" 
hack.

But then I come across things like

and remember that this is more or less hopeless to get right (with any 
decent effort anyway).
