Character set conversions

[Adam D. Ruppe]

I've encountered some problems with other charsets recently. Phobos has
a std.encoding that can do some useful stuff, but there's some
encodings I've seen in the wild that it can't handle (indeed, it's
a fairly short list that it does support)

I used gnu iconv for one of my projects and it works for me, but
I wonder:

Is anyone planning to add more charset support to Phobos?
(alternatively, am I missing something already there?)


If no, maybe I'll do a few myself. I've never actually written code
to do this, but it can't be rocket science. I suspect it's more
tedious than anything else.
