D doesn't make writing unit tests easy, since there's an intrinsic amount of 
effort required to write them, just like there is with any code, but it takes 
away all of the extraneous effort in having to set up a unit test framework and 
the like. And by removing pretty much anything from the effort which is not 
actually required, it makes writing unit testing about as easy as it can be.

I believe that Walter likes to say that it takes away your excuse _not_ to 
write them because of how easy it is to write unit tests in D.
