I see, foreach still iterates over code units by default.  Of course,
this means that foreach over ranges doesn't work with strings, which in
turn means that algorithms that use foreach over ranges are broken.
Observe:

   import std.stdio;
   import std.algorithm;

   void main() {
     writeln(count!("true")("日本語")); // Three characters.
   }

Output (compiled with Digital Marse D Compiler v2.050):
