digitalmars.D - Automatically verifying code samples on dlang.org

A post in the learn newsgroup got me thinking. Do we have a way to 
automatically verify code samples on dlang.org? I know that for the 
Phobos and druntime docs we can use documented unit test blocks but what 
about the rest of the documentation, i.e. that one that's written using 
.ddoc files?

[...] I was about to suggest a fake D module named after the page title, with attached ddoc'd unittest, but unfortunately this doesn't work because of this issue: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14383 T -- Don't modify spaghetti code unless you can eat the consequences.
