The most glaring point to me is Phobos' ubiquitous use of `string`
everywhere for filenames. The fact that strings are assumed to be valid
UTF-8 will almost certainly land us in the same complaints as the author
had about Go's handling of pathnames.

Changing that would be a major code breaker, though. So I'm not sure if
we should even attempt to!
