stride(s, i) returns 0xFF, or 255, if s[i] is not a UTF-8 lead byte. This
design allows the function to silently succeed when the input is broken:

auto str = new char[](300);
str[0] = '\xFE';                // broken
str = str[str.stride(0) .. $];  // jumps 255 bytes

stride(s, i) should throw an exception if s[i] is not a lead byte. Or at least
the error value should not be 255.
