Unsure how common this is but I find myself using the following handy construct (assume module name can be inserted by {module}:

version({module}_test)
{
   import std.stdio;
   unittest 
  {
  }
  int main() 
  {
    return 0;
  }
}

This allows me to use the command line: dmd file1.d file2.d file3.d somelib.lib -unittest -version=file1_test.

This results in only the tests from the requested file being generated in the resulting executable.

Is it possible for custom snippets to be added by the user?

I look forward to trying out your IDE.  

Thanks,
Brian
