Update: std.conv.hexString does not validate its return value either.

It doesn't have to. hexString isn't even design to represent strings literals, it can be a memory dump as well that can be cast to ubyte[].

--- Comment #3 from FeepingCreature <default_357-line@yahoo.de> ---
It has to, because it returns string and string is defined to be UTF-8.

If it wants to return something that is not UTF-8, it should return ubyte[], and you should have to cast it to string explicitly.

I'd say the spec just specifies encodings for strings, meaning that it can't be something else like EBCDIC or cp1252. There was a debate whether invalid utf violates type system and an idea that invalid utf can produce an exception, a replacement character or be ignored.
