Bye bye, fast compilation times

[Nick Sabalausky (Abscissa)]

Yes. This has been a personal annoyance for many years. Even tried 
arguing some time back to get it fixed to no avail. Really hoping for 
better success this time.

That used to be a very common idiom. (And I agree with Jonathan M Davis: 
it's a STRONG sign the current design needs fixed). But newer versions 
of dub, intelligently, will only compile the files in the main project 
with -unittest, which solves the problem...*for dub users*. 
Unfortunately, this means that the idiom above has become less common 
and libraries have become less usable for anyone using a build tool 
*other* than dub. :(
