Besides the naming, all that is possible right now, which is what my

Complete self-examination code should be possible - which means being able to examine program flow and trace variables.  This would ultimately lead to *being able to* generate proofs on the correctness of the code.

Hmmm... that sounds a bit complex for an average tester. Might be a good 
idea in a pure-functional language, but I can't see it being much use in D.
