If std.stream is being deprecated, what is the correct way to deal with
file BOMs. This is particularly concerning utf8 files, which I
understand to be a bit problematic, as there isn't, actually, a utf8
BOM, merely a convention which isn't a part of a standard. But the
std.stdio documentation doesn't so much as mention byte order marks
(BOMs).
If this should wait until std.io is released, then I could use
std.stream until them, but the documentation is already warning to avoid
using it.
When std.io is released, it will be fully BOM-aware by default (as long as
you use the purely D versions). The plan from my point of view is for
std.io be be a replacement backend for std.stdio, with the C version being
the default (as it must be for compatibility purposes).
