Here's one: having to manually generate the custom main file

a dub package and list it as a dependency of the unittest

Hmm, I haven't used Dub to run unit tests. Although, DMD has
a "-main"
flag that adds an empty main function.
I don't want an empty main function. I want the main function
and the
file it's in to be generated by the build system.
Why would be the focus on the mechanism instead of the needed
outcome? -- Andrei
Because I don't use unittest blocks, I use my own library. The
one thing it can't use the compiler for is discover what files
are in a directory, so I need to generate the main function that
calls into unit-threaded with a list of compile-time strings.
What I need/want is that every time I add a new source file to
the project, it gets auto-generated automatically and is a
dependency of the unittest build in dub.
