Probably not, since I don't know what the **** a grapheme is. I think the person 
who thought unicode should be divided up into characters, bytes, code points, 
code units, glyphs, combining characters, composite characters, and graphemes 
(and whatever new complexity they dream up this week) should be taken out and 
screened by the TSA.

Unicode is a simple idea, made absurdly complex.

Furthermore, I think that Phobos handles Unicode in a straightforward manner. 
All this other crazy stuff should be handled by some 3rd party 100Mb add-on, so 
none of the rest of us have to suffer under it.
