Where is UTF-32 actually used?

I think all std.algorithm and std.range yield UTF-32 dchars, when you give
them a string in input.

In addition, foreach over a string with a dchar loop variable does implicit
UTF-8 decoding.


SIMD isn't going to speed things up at all for decoding one character. It is for 
transcoding a large array.
