The obvious way would be to allow unit test blocks to be nested inside
functions, classes, and structs too. And if we are going that way, allow
'import' statements to allowed inside unit test blocks. 

Yes, I know there are technical issues to solve but Walter's a smart cookie
and will be able to solve them to the benefit of the D language. If D wants
to have a few differentiating points then comprehensive DbC and quality
control is a good place to start.
