I would say that the functions should NOT crash but instead throw an
exception. Then the developer can choose what to do when there's an
invalid unicode character.
It is already throwing an exception called
core.exception.UnicodeException. This even provides you the index where
decoding failed.
(However Phobos is not using it, AFAIK.)

import core.exception, std.stdio, std.conv;
void main() {
char[] s = [0x0f, 0x12,0x34,0x56,0x78,0x9a,0xbc];
try {
foreach (dchar d; s){}
} catch (UnicodeException e) {
writefln("error at index %s (%x)", e.idx, to!ubyte(s[e.idx]));
// error at index 5 (9a)
}
}
