We should aim to something *better* than dynamic languages, where
possible. If you have to do certain things (even "slow" ones), there's
no point in making them harder than necessary in D.
Python is a good language, but it's not perfect, and in a new language
I'd like something even better. D contains several small things that are
better than Python (an many things that are worse than Python).

Well the first thing I tried out was:
#!/usr/bin/env python
for c in "f#a# ∞":
print c
Which I still didn't get to run after:
- reading SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file ./run.py on
line 1, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
- adding a BOM to the script
- remove the shebang which collides with the BOM
- writing unicode("f#a# ∞") so I don't get an encoding error
