Autodecode - I've suffered under that, too. The solution was
fairly simple. Append .byCodeUnit to strings that would
otherwise autodecode. Annoying, but hardly a showstopper.
import std.array : array;

import std.uni : byCodePoint, byGrapheme;
import std.utf : byCodeUnit;
void main() {
string first = "á";
writefln("%d", first.length); // prints 2
auto firstCU = "á".byCodeUnit; // type is `ByCodeUnitImpl` (!)
writefln("%d", firstCU.length); // prints 2
auto firstGr = "á".byGrapheme.array; // type is `Grapheme[]`
writefln("%d", firstGr.length); // prints 1
auto firstCP = "á".byCodePoint.array; // type is `dchar[]`
writefln("%d", firstCP.length); // prints 1

writefln("%d", second.length); // prints 1 (That was easy!)
