Well, no; it compiles all unittests of all *compiled* modules,
not all *imported* modules. So it does not actually include
Phobos unittests.
StdUnittest is a hack introduced to suppress Phobos unittests
in user programs.
The point of `StdUnittest` is to suppress
* `version (unittest)` blocks in Phobos
* Phobos unittests in the bodies of templates that are
instantiated by user code
As Steven Schveighoffer [pointed out][1], Phobos unittests are
never included in user code, regardless of whether `StdUnittest`
is used.
