Whatever your motivation is, I'd say utf-8 is a blessing, and I 
personally see no reason for supporting any other encoding (not 
even utf-16 or utf-32).

utf-8 combined with unique ref-counted immutable short strings is 
quite acceptable IMO (you can compare non-equality by address 
only). D needs an efficient implementation of it, that's all.
