It's not a typo: within std.utf you'll find "Ninvalid UTF-8 sequence", where N
ranges from 1 to 5. 4 is just the most common, because it's in the decode()
method which is used by std.format.doFormat, which, in turn, is used by the
writef family.

I agree, however, that it makes for ugly error messages, and it does appear a
lot like a typo, so I'll leave the bug open - just renamed.
