Walter and I also discussed "static unittest" a while ago - yes, another use of static :o).

A static unittest would be evaluated only during compilation, and would prove things that fall in the realm of static checking but are not verifiable with traditional typesystem approach.

That won't enable things we can't do today (there's always assert(__traits(compiles, ...)) but it's instantly recognizable, very easy to use, and pushes semantic checking to a whole new level.

Thoughts?

There's also

unittest
{
    static assert(...);
}
