I think it's lame to have to use magical code like `version(unittest) {} else` to guard our main functions, when we run unit tests. Could D go ahead and do the right thing, automatically shadowing our main functions when the unit tests are run?
This is in process of deprecation, but I dropped the ball on making sure the deprecation happened in a timely manner (also I see the ddoc doesn't show the list very well...)
See this in the description of core.runtime.runModuleUnitTests: https://dlang.org/phobos/core_runtime.html#.runModuleUnitTests
"If the switch --DRT-testmode is passed to the executable, it can have one of 3 values: 1. "run-main": even if unit tests are run (and all pass), main is still run. This is currently the default. 2. "test-or-main": any unit tests present will cause the program to summarize the results and exit regardless of the result. This will be the default in 2.080. 3. "test-only", the runtime will always summarize and never run main, even if no tests are present."
Will do a PR to switch the default. -Steve
