Templates are not compiled fully until you use them.

If a unit test is inside a template, and that template wasn't instantiated  
inside phobos itself (likely for formatting), it will be instantiated,  
unit test and all, inside your code that used it.

This is a big limitation on the unit test system. There is no way to say  
what unit tests to enable, and what to disable. It's just all or nothing.

Quite likely that you use rdmd. It compiles dependencies with 
same flags as main target so if you do `rdmd -unittest app.d` all 
modules app imports will be compiled with `-unittest` as well. 
Using custom build process can fix it.
