That doesn't make sense to me, because the umlauts and the accented e
all have Unicode code point assignments.

This code snippet demonstrates the problem:

import std.stdio;

void main ()
{
    dstring a = "e\u0301";
    dstring b = "é";
    assert(a != b);
    assert(a.length == 2);
    assert(b.length == 1);
    writefln(a, " ", b);
}

If you run the above code all asserts should pass. If your system correctly supports Unicode (works on OS X 10.10) the two printed characters should look exactly the same.

\u0301 is the "combining acute accent" [1].
