Andrei spoke about an idiom that they constantly use at
Facebok, because there aparrently nobody runs *main and
unittests*. So they keep a special empty main for the -unittest

This idiom here:

"Last but not least, virtually nobody I know runs unittests and
then
main. This is quickly becoming an idiom:
version(unittest) void main() {}
else void main()
{
...
}
I think it's time to change that. We could do it the
non-backward-compatible way by redefining -unittest to instruct
the
compiler to not run main. Or we could define another flag such as
-unittest-only and then deprecate the existing one.
