For the following program:
---------test.d-------------
import core.stdc.stdio;
public import std.whatever;

int main()
{
     printf("Success!\n");
     return 0;
}
----------------------------

Try compiling:

     dmd -cov test.d std\whatever -unittest

and examine std-whatever.lst.

We can do a lot, lot better before we need something better than -cov.
