Currently that is not possible. When you turn on unittests to be 
compiled in, that runtime will automatically run them and then end the 
program.

Run what?

Until its in a binary on the target platform (which may not be the 
host), there is nothing to run.

Running using CTFE will not allow for testing for things that are 
platform dependent. Which we do plenty of.

It's not broken. It's working exactly how it needs to work.

You can't expect a runtime dependent feature that has no way of working 
without a runtime, to work without a runtime.
