!include doesn't work with files encoded as UTF-8 BOM

[kev-andrews]

Description

Currently, structurizr lite does not handle .dsl files with a UTF-8 BOM very well. It throws hard-to-debug errors, such as
Identifiers can only contain the following characters
It would be great if you could add support for UTF-8 BOM. This seems to have been an issue in the Java version at some point as well structurizr/dsl@00faec0

Priority

I have no budget and there's no rush, please add this feature for free

I've started Lite against this file (the example you pointed to) and it works for me. Do you have any information on how to reproduce what you're seeing?

Maybe it has to do with !include... I noticed the error when using !include and including a .dsl file with UTF8 BOM from a file without a BOM. Removing the BOM in the included file fixes the issue immediately.
