The module to look at here is std.utf, not std.encoding.
Hmmm, docs may need updating then -- several functions in
`std.encoding` explicitly state they are replacements for
`std.utf`. Did you mean `std.uni`?
It is honestly a bit confusing which of these 3 modules to use,
especially as they each offer different (and useful) tools. For
example, `std.utf.validate` is less useful than
`std.encoding.isValid`, because it throws rather than returning a
bool and giving the user the choice of behaviour. `std.uni`
doesn't seem to have any equivalent for either.
Thanks in any case for the as-ever characteristically detailed
and useful advice :-)
