indeed (as I say in the doc) it was inspired by it, it is a bit  
different as it supports also non random (i.e. combinatorial) tests  
(which makes it possible to integrate "normal" tests more easily), and  
one can also use mixins to change the generators (but I found mixins  
unnecessary in retrospect).
I liked it much when programming in haskell...

Well I use it, and am happy with it (I suppose because I prefer  
writing functions than testcases), but it seems that it is not  
something other D programmer know/enjoy/want much :).
