It generally works fine on all the other filesystems, which today 
have mostly standardized on UTF-8.

Well, a more correct solution would be to check if we're printing 
to the Windows console, and  use Unicode APIs, which would allow 
this to work regardless of the current 8-bit codepage. However, 
this (and your suggestion) are complicated to implement due to 
reasons related to how tightly Phobos is tied to C's FILE* for 
file input and output.
