That's a really nice feature. By running the unittests a developer could
verify that there isn't a latent bug in the library code revealed by
their particular types (or a bug in their types of course). If we could
leverage this more then bugs in phobos could be identified quicker.
I actually find it very useful. For example, in dcollections, I test with
every possible integer instantiation (ubyte, byte, ushort, short, uint,
int, ulong long), and it has caught quite a few bugs, even compiler bugs!
Only drawback is it takes a long time to compile with all those
instantiations!
