I did not yet find a way to automatically modify the Object.html file on Sun 
servers ;-)

Seriously, given that Nice is not class-centric, it's a good question where 
such a method should be presented. One benefit of being able to add methods to 
existing classes in new packages is that those methods might only be useful in 
certain contexts, when you decide to import that package. However, I agree 
that given a set of packages, it can make sense to be able to see all methods 
whose first argument is a given class, regardless of the package they are 
defined in. That is, I believe that multiple views are useful: package-based 
and class-based at least, and it should be easy to switch views. The same 
possibility would be useful in editors too (eclipse).

At the moment nicedoc output is package-based only, so this should be added.

Could you list these concepts and their syntax in D?

At the moment you start them with a separate tool (niceunit). I agree it would 
be practical to integrate it with nicec, and it would probably be a good idea 
to run the tests by default if there are some present.

It should not be hard to implement this. Basically, import nice.tools.unit 
from nice.tools.compiler, and if compilation succeeded, call the right method 
to start the tests (which is harmless if there are no tests). Don't hesitate 
to ask for help, and please submit a patch.
