I would like to know if there exists a 'stream' or 'file' class that is
able to take a text file with a correct BOM, and an 'ouput' utf

encoding by using the BOM, and do the encoding for me on the way out in
the specified 'output' utf encoding.
Right now I am using std.stream.File (which I know is going the way of
all the earth soon) and manually parsing the BOM myself to then choose
whether I call 'readLine' or 'readLineW', and then subsequently calling
'toUTF8' after that.
It just seems like something like this would be nice to have in phobos
if it's not already there.
The new stream replacement code is capable of doing this, all without much
effort. It auto-detects the byte order, and allows you to specify it if
you wish.
I really need to complete this code. It's long overdue.
