Not a bad idea. If we do it right, we could (mostly) avoid user outrage. E.g., start with a "soft deprecation" (a compile-time message, but not an actual warning, to the effect that byCodeUnit / byCodePoint should be used with strings from now on), then a warning, then an actual deprecation, then remove autodecoding code from Phobos algorithms (leaving only byCodePoint for those who still want autodecoding).
Consider this PR: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2423 which is blocked because several people do not agree with using byCodeunit.
