Again, this is a completely superfluous feature. D already has 
annotations (took only several years to convince Walter to add 
them) which are more flexible and much better suited for this.

@unittest // <- this is a unit-test function
void mySuperDuperTestFunction(...);

There is no benefit in having all those special case features in 
the language which have all sorts of integration issues yet deny 
the usefulness of a more general solution generally accepted in 
the programming world, successfully used in many languages and 
thus also familiar to programmers coming from those languages.
