This doesn't throw for me:
```d
void main()
{
import std.uri;
decode("\xFF");
encode("\xFF");
}
```
But... looking at the implementation, it does have a baked-in
UTF-8 decoder, which is a little ridiculous. `decode` actually
decodes percent-encoded UTF-8, and then encodes it back, but
makes no attempt to validate the non-encoded parts of the string.
The module is pretty old though, so maybe it predates the
facilities in `std.utf`.
