It's not just about performance.
Something I recently realized: because of auto-decoding,
std.algorithm.find("foo", 'o') cannot be implemented using
memchr. I think this points to a huge design fail,
performance-wise.
There are also subtle correctness problems:
haystack[0..haystack.countUntil(needle)] is wrong, even if it
works right on ASCII input.
For once I agree with Walter Bright - regarding the chair
throwing :)
