digitalmars.D - telling D to ignore utf-8

Hi.
Is there any way to tell the d compiler to treat *all* text as ascii, with 
no consideration to utf-8?  I will be receiving some     text that it thinks 
are bad utf-8 sequences.

I'm not sure what you mean. ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, so if your code file is ASCII then it won't have any UTF-8 sequences, bad or otherwise.

Hi,

Maybe he means binary, instead of ASCII. Do you? In this case then UTF8 makes no
difference, since binary will likely result in fubared UTF-8 _or_ ASCII. The
solution is to use ubyte instead of char and co.

<snip top of upside-down reply> Notice that the OP talks about telling the _compiler_ to treat all text as ASCII. By which I understand treating source code files as being in ASCII. Since ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, any code file containing only ASCII characters is implicitly treated as ASCII.
