I would suggestion using some kind of wrapper instead of doing true monkey patching. Example:

class Wrapper

    private Object o;
    this (Object o) { this.o = o; }

    auto opDispatch (string name, Args ...) (Args args)
    {
// Use this function to "catch" all calls and forward as necessary to "o"
    }
}

That's a reasonable option too. I think I'd rather use deject.

The problem I'm trying to solve (and maybe this isn't as important as I think) is that DMocks or deject + DMocks only works on a subset of the language. I can't mock out free function calls, private or final methods, or functions on structs or unions (can I inject mocked structs using deject?).

What do I do when I want to mock out std.stdio or std.random?
