Does this case even matter? Exceptions are not a normal

And it's a time when I'd expect a delay anyway.
Imagine intentionally crafted broken utf as user input in
repeated requests. You don't have control over it.
Now if Phobos would have only thrown exceptions in really
_exceptional_ situations and handled broken input gracefully...
You should probably validate utf from all foreign sources. Catch
a problem with it as it comes in rather than in some arbitrary
part of your program.
