          Issue ID: 23405
           Summary: Doc is wrong on use of useReplacementDchar
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: dlang.org
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: bugzilla digitalmars.com

Reported here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33170701

what I think is probably a docbug at this URL:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_utf.html#.byUTF

"Throws: UTFException if invalid UTF sequence and useReplacementDchar is set to
UseReplacementDchar.yes"

My guess is that this is a mistake and should instead say
UseReplacementDchar.no since it makes sense to throw an exception if you can't
use U+FFFD here, rather than do both.
