Running the unit tests:

Use "make" to compile the library or create an executable using rdmd.
A few things to think about that need to be resolved:
* This is quite a large library and I really don't want to put it all
into one module. I'm hoping it will be OK with a package
So the package would be std.serialize?
Yeah, or std.serialization.
* I would really like to keep the unit tests in their own modules
because they're quite large and the modules are already large without
the unit tests in them
Sounds reasonable. It goes against the Phobos convention, but it sounds
like you have a good reason to.
* The unit tests use a kind of mini-unit test framework. Should that
be kept or removed?
I haven't looked at it yet, but if it's generally useful, maybe it
should be extracted and exposed as part of Phobos. I'd say keep it for
now but keep it private, and later make a proposal for a full review to
make it a public, official part of Phobos.
I think it is, don't know what others think. What it does is it catches
AssertErrors so other unit tests can continue to run and then gives a
nice report at the end.
