Sounds reasonable, but then I realised that most of my unit 
tests are documenting unittests... this recommendation is in 
conflict with the documentation standards... who wins?

For the rationale see e.g. this thread:

https://forum.dlang.org/post/wnydmelyxprvhsxew...@forum.dlang.org

A trick around this is sth. like:

version(D_Ddoc)
{
    enum doUnittest = true;
}
else
{
    version(unittest)
    {
        enum doUnittest = true;
    }
    else
    {
        enum doUnittest = false;
    }
}

and then `static if (doUnittest)` the tests inside. For example 
ndslice uses a similar pattern.
