Translation of C macros to D can sometimes [give incorrect 
behavior](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/16199). With the 
current implementation, it does that silently, and that  
obviously raises questions about the reliability of the final 
product. My proposal is to allow the user to compile C code 
inside unit tests so there's at least a chance of catching bugs. 
What you are proposing would make that possible.
