Walter and I also discussed "static unittest" a while ago - yes, another

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?
It's already possible to do CTFE unit testing [1], if that was what
you're thinking about.
