D devs should lead the way in getting rid of the UTF-8 encoding, not bickering about how to make it more palatable. I suggested a single-byte encoding for most languages, with double-byte for the ones which wouldn't fit in a byte. Use some kind of header or other metadata to combine strings of different languages, _rather than encoding the language into every character!_
Guys, may I ask you to move this discussion to a new thread? I'd like to follow the (already crowded) autodecode thing, and this is really a separate topic.
