If so, they have no excuse. D has made it ridiculously easy to 
unit test your code. And I very much doubt that 99% of D users 
don't unit test their code.

There are cases where 100% isn't possible - e.g. because of an 
assert(0) or because you're dealing with UI code or the like 
where it simply isn't usable without running the program - but 
even then, the test coverage should be as close to 100% as can be 
achieved, which isn't usually going to be all that far from 100%.

We should be ashamed when our code is not as close to 100% code 
coverage as is feasible (which is usually 100%).
