Sure. Of particular meaninglessness is anything about the mere quantity of
tests.
One thing that I absolutely love about D's unittests is they have changed the
culture, like ddoc has. Trying to release code with no unittests looks sloppy
and unprofessional. It's easy for management to say "hey, where is the doc?
Where are the unittests?" Anything is far better than nothing.
