           Summary: Source file without BOM starting with non-ASCII compiles

             nThis:


Ä ä;

class Ä {
}

void main() {
}

The above, encoded as UTF-8 without a BOM, compiles and runs just fine even though the spec claims that "[i]f the source file does not start with a BOM, then the first character must be less than or equal to U0000007F" which the "Ä" character is not.

I'm not sure this is a useful limitation, and since it's not taken into account by DMD it might as well be removed, in my opinion.
