struct S(T)
{
    T val;

    unittest
    {
        /// this will fail if 'T' is not int
        static assert(is(T == int));
    }
}

alias S_Int = S!int;
alias S_Float = S!float;  // triggers compile-time failure

Yes, I understand this and I'd expect the compile failure. 

I don't think it is a good idea to conditionally compile/execute unittests
according to whether templates are instantiated, which is why I was saying they
should not be treated as regular functions that are subject to
template/struct/class scope.

Of course that may raise other issues I haven't thought of...I'm not a
compiler/language developer by any means :)

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look into this issue. It is only a minor
problem due to my preferred unittest structure/workflow. I can work around it
easily enough.

Cheers,
ed
