It just took me over one hour to find out the unthinkable.
foreach(c; str) will deduce c to immutable(char) and doesn't care about
unicode.
Now there is so many unicode transcoding happening in the language that
it starts to get annoying,
but the most basic string iteration doesn't support it by default?
Maybe I didn't fully get your point, but, you do know that you can do
the following, right?
string str = "Ñandú";
foreach(dchar c; str)
...
and it decodes full unicode characters just fine. Or maybe you are just
talking about the auto type inference, just to make sure...
OTOH, as others say, it's not rare to iterate on 8-bit units if you're
dealing with ASCII or if you are parsing and looking for operators and
separators (which are normally 8-bit). Then you can leave the rest
untouched or extract the parts in between without caring if they are 1
byte per character or several. (e.g. parsing XML, or JSON, or CSV, or
INI, or conf, or D source, etc.)
