That only works for absolute paths.
Yet it is somehow my fault for not reading the source of phobos
to make sure it is using unicode api? Which it is and it's

Right. The problem is on the OS side.
again, this is why I generally end up regretting using D.
Can you list some programming languages that achieve this task in
a way you approve of?
This is the typical mindset with D. There are all these "minor"
problems that people(the D community pretends are all that big
a deal but when you couple all these problems together it
results in a very unpleasant programming experience(out of all
the languages I've programmed in D is about the worse in this
regard).
Please drop this tone, it will make you no allies.
