Both version(assert) and version(release) are ignored inside unittest blocks. 
Consider the attached code: running with rdmd -unittest -release results in output:

     I don't respect release mode inside unittest blocks
     Release mode is disabled.

Which is interesting but irritating to say the least, because it means things 
like testing contracts are more difficult to unittest effectively.

OK, OK, I could do

     version(assert)
     {
         unittest { ... }
     }

... but that makes for an annoying separation out of unittests.
