Phobos is like Boost, everything is templates, that's what we get. 
Compiling my unit tests with D1 takes about 0.7 seconds, using D2 it 
takes about 1.4 seconds.

I had all the unit tests in one module at first, but I thought it was 
too much to have in one module and now I have several more unit tests.
