Unittest checks are not necessarily the same as asserts in the
application code. Unittest checks throwing exceptions of a
different type than exceptions from the application code are
useful for precise analysis of exceptions. Unittests also need
indication of unconditional failure and inconclusive tests.
Builtin unittests just give a run to the code, they shouldn't be
written in such a way that you can't figure out what's going on
there.
Confusing claim that he can't use dmd given that he says he uses
