TPDL has a great section on Unicode and strings. I definitely think that I understand the situation better now. Unicode is a pain to deal with, but D deals with it really well over all. I'm certainly more comfortable dealing with unicode in D than in most languages.

curly brace initialisers:

struct c4 {
	float[4]	_vals;
}

c4 dat = { [0,0,0,0] };

Needs to be changed to use a constructor, but CTFE can't assign to the _vals array at the moment in the constructor. It'll get fixed sooner or later, so I'd rather wait than recode every thing to work around it; only to change it all back when CTFE gets better.

And also not using an array makes generalising the number of _vals a huge pain.
