I need to go over it again and then introduce it into the new DIP process.
But I really think that that's where we should go to fix this problem.

Just a thought: things that we can't do have high priority. Things that 
we can do with a modest cost are much less attractive. Consider:

struct Awesome(A, B, C)
{
    private enum ut = is(A == int) && is(B == int) && is(C == int);

    static if (ut) unittest
    {
        ...
    }
}

You're looking at an overhead with a small fixed cost plus a few 
characters ("if (ut)") per unittest.
