Just a thought: things that we can't do have high priority. Things that 
we can do with a modest cost are much less attractive. Consider:

struct Awesome(A, B, C)
{
     private enum ut = is(A == int) && is(B == int) && is(C == int);

     static if (ut) unittest
     {
         ...
     }
}

You're looking at an overhead with a small fixed cost plus a few 
characters ("if (ut)") per unittest.
