Is it possible to have unittest blocks if I'm compiling a library?

I've tried having this:

test.d:

    class Classy {
        unittest { assert(0, "failed test"); }
    }


and then build it with `dmd test.d -lib -unittest` and it doesn't fail the unittest.

You can test the unittests by using the -main switch.

That's exactly what I was missing. Thanks!
