I'm thinking of removing the warning but I have no idea how many 
people are using dmd 2.064.2, and it does crash if used with 
ld.gold. It was a dmd bug that got fixed (I voted on it).

I fixed the Markdown link. That's what happens when I move code 
around!

If you want to see what the output is like you can check out 
https://travis-ci.org/atilaneves/cerealed or git clone it and run 
dub test. I think seeing failing output is just as interesting as 
well, so there's a failing example in there that can be executed. 
The README.md says how.

When I first wrote this I tried using it on Phobos to see if I 
could run the unit tests a lot faster but didn't have a lot of 
luck. I think I ran out of memory trying to reflect on its 
modules but I can't remember. I should try that again.
