digitalmars.D - ModuleInfo.unitTest cannot be called twice

It seems it's not possible to call ModuleInfo.unitTest more than once.

The following code will not run the unit tests:

foreach (m ; ModuleInfo)
     if (m && m.unitTest)
         m.unitTest();

But this code will:

foreach (m ; ModuleInfo)
     if (m)
         if (auto fp = m.unitTest)
             fp();

Not that I'm storing the result of "m.unitTest" in a variable in the 
second example.

Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug?

I see what I did wrong. ModuleInfo.unitTest is a method these days, 
instead of a field like before. Due two how properties work in D it will 
only call the "unitTest" method and not the returned function pointer.

I don't remember a reason why calling that function more than
once shouldn't work.

But: unitTest is a property returning a function so it might be related
to the optional parentheses / broken properties stuff. Does
"m.unitTest()()" compile?

Yeah, that was the problem. I though unitTest was a field.
