I've definitely used it before (particularly when originally writing 
std.datetime), but it's not something that I remember to use often enough. I'm 
thorough enough with my unit tests that I tend to assume that I have fully 
coverage (which I probably do in most cases), but it would be much safer to 
actually check. Having at least the percentage spit out as part of the build 
step would certainly be useful though, since then I could see when it 
changes.. I wonder if I should set it up so that my unit test builds do that.
