AFAIK in some cases the BOM takes up to 4 bytes (FOR UTF-32),
so when input encoding is unknown one must perform some kind of
detection in order to apply the correct transcoding later. I
thought by now dmd had this functionality built-in and exposed,
since the compiler itself seems to do it for source code units.
On UTF-8 files the BOM is 3 bytes long.
