If it is so, then arr.popFront() must break UTF-8 strings ;-)

For me use in 4 times more memory for ASCII seems too wasteful, sorry.

Walter, I really very like your creation. It is great. Big thank you for  
it!
I really believe that there is no bugs, only not documented features ;-)
I just want to say that the documentation now give enough information.
std.range or std.array documentation don't say anything about it's  
behaviour on UTF-8 strings.
I'm already see source codes to know what really does any function. Open  
Source is really great :-)
