I haven't spent the time to dig in and report it properly, but based on some
of what I saw recently on a project I have, the module with main in it
didn't have its tests run, as if dub's didn't compile it when compiling the
unit tests. The tests in the other modules were definitely run though. So, I
think that dub probably does have a bug with regards to how it handles the
module with main in it.
