Ehm. Nothing critical but why not just merge the fix in #2038? Seems like I basically cannot reach you for weeks, what's the best way to nag? :)

Experience says complain to Andrei on the forum if you want Walter's attention.

@DmitryOlshansky,

1. Fix issue 12419: assertion failure in std.utf #2038 says nothing about issue 12394.
2. issue 12394 has no reference to Fix issue 12419: assertion failure in std.utf #2038

meaning I had no clue there was any relationship between the two

1. I generally delegate phobos issues to Andrei
2. if you've emailed me about this, I didn't receive it

BTW, thanks for changing your github handle to your name.

@WalterBright
Pardon issue #2037. I replied to your email. Probably it got lost.
Indeed I didn't link the pull in bugzilla, I can't recall why - maybe because I couldn't test the fix on my machine.
