I was thinking about something like this:

//a.d
import b.d;
alias x = Foo!whatever;

//b.d
struct Foo(Arg) {
     void foo() {...}
     unittest { /+...unittest foo()...+/ }
}

// Attempt to exclude module b's unittests, except...aren't
// they compiled when module a's is compiled? The first
// dmd invocation here has no idea module b will be compiled
// without the -unittest flag.
