Actually, developing a new language *and* tool support for it can easily be less work than developing good tool support for a complicated language like D.

I think mocking is the right thing to do, but your example just returns an empty List... that's an edge case. Normally you have to prepare the testdata (by using the builder pattern for example, maybe with the help of Make-It-Easy or something similar). That would be a lot more code, depending on the Campaign class.

I like the thought process of this idea - it is a very novel way of documenting code.

Yes. Patent lawyers are quite clever though. They can patent the other components, or make a device that works, but isn't feasable because the "magic piece" can't be made portable. Good lawyers may well be able to argue that this makes it a different invention but that's always a craps shoot.
