Is it useful to add QuickCheck-like functionality to the Phobos module that
helps testing (or is it better to keep it as an module external to Phobos)?
It's a nice thing, and it's probably small:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickCheck

At the bottom of that Wikipedia page there are links to the Scala and C++
versions, plus the original Haskell version.

The Python std lib has two different testing modules, but I presume Phobos is
not meant to grow as much as the Python standard library.

I vaguely remember a QuickCheck-like module for D (probably D1) already written
by someone, but I don't remember the link.
