This version also has the advantage of being (discounting
any bugs in
iopipe) correct for arbitrary unicode in all common UTF
encodings.
I worked a lot on making sure this works properly. However,
it's
possible that there are some lingering issues.
I also did not spend much time optimizing these paths
(whereas I spent
a ton of time getting the utf8 line parsing as fast as it
could be).
Partly because finding things other than utf8 in the wild is
rare, and
partly because I have nothing to compare it with to know what
is
possible :)
If you want UCS-2 (aka UTF-16 without surrogates) data I can
give you
gigabytes of files in tmx format.
The data I can (and have) generated from UTF-8 data. I have
tested my byLine parser to make sure it properly splits on
"interesting" code points in all widths. UTF-16 data without
surrogates should probably work fine. I haven't tuned it though
like I tuned the UTF-8 version. Is there a memchr for wide
characters? ;)
What I really haven't done is compared my line parsing code
with multi-code-unit delimiters against one that can do the
same thing. I know Phobos and C FILE * really can't do it. I
haven't really looked at all in C++, so I should probably look
there before giving up.

In any case, you can download the dataset from [1] if you like.
There are several 100 Mb big zip files containing a collection of
tmx files (translation memory exchange) with European
Legislation. The files contain multi-alignment texts in up to 24
languages. The files are encoded in UCS-2 little-endian. I know
for a fact (because I compiled the data) that they don't contain
characters outside of the BMP. The data is public and can be used
freely (as in beer).
When I get some time, I will try to port the java app that is
distributed with it to D (partially done yet).
