What do you think？

But .. some people switch cmd.exe to utf8, so you'll break them.

http://superuser.com/questions/269818/change-default-code-page-of-windows-console-to-utf-8

not to mention all the linux people it'll break.

Perhaps:

import std.windows.charset;
import std.conv;

then:

writeln(to!(string)(toMBSz(utf8)));

Why not switch by Version:
version(Windows)
{
   writeln(to!(string)(toMBSz(utf8)));
}
else version(linux)
{
  ...
}
