It's unfortunate that Phobos tells you 'there's problems with

I have to take that back since I found out about std.encoding
which has functions like `sanitize`, but also `transcode`. (My
file turned out to actually be encoded with ANSI / Windows-1252,
not UTF-8)
Documentation is scarce however, and it requires strings instead
of forward ranges.

Instead of:
auto outputFile = new File("output.txt");
try:
auto outputFile = File("output.txt", "w");
Wow I really butchered that code. So it is the `drop(4)` that
triggers the UTFException? I find Exceptions in range code hard
to interpret.
@Kagamin
Do it old school?
I want to be convinved that Range programming works like a charm,
but the procedural approaches remain more flexible (and faster
too) it seems. Thanks for the example.
