I'm on a tablet on holiday so sorry in advance for the short 
answer. Your versioned import is the reason why I made it so a 
plain string UDA is just as good as @Name. That way you only need 
to import unit_threaded once in a version block, and only if you 
want to use the shouldXXX assertions.

The test runner you mentioned can be generated by using my dtest 
tool, also on dub.

The next thing on my TODO list is to make it even easier to 
opt-in to using unit-threaded without having to change existing 
project code
