I disagree, adding special support for test runners is great, in 
fact dub already has that (it uses `tested` if it's installed). 
What we need to do is just extend this feature a little bit and 
tell the ones who develop test runners to update them 
accordingly. I'd be happy to have that and I think Atila and 
Bogdan too.

Also, dub has special support for documentation generators that 
are compatible with ddox. There's `"-ddoxTool"` configuration 
option. I think we could do the same with test runners being 
compatible with tested.
