I tried sticking an import in a unittest {} block and it caused an error.

I put it there, naturally, because I only needed that particular module 
for the unittests and the whole rest of the file didn't really need to 
see those symbols.  If you're not doing unittests there's no reason for 
the import overhead, and no reason to burden the user with making sure 
that particular testing module is present.

Scoped importing like that just not supported at this time?

I've noticed that imports can be placed in a version { } block, and I'd 
assume inside a debug { } too.. But inside of unittest { } there's 
actual code being executed, so it's probably a different kind of scope.

Ok,  well that's good at least.  I wonder if there is (or could be) a 
version(unittest) automatically set when -unittest is used.
