You shouldn't have to use a library to get named unit tests, since unit 
testing is built into D, and the lack of name unit tests is a real problem for 
stack traces and the like. It was suggested at one point that at minimum, 
unittest block functions have their line number in their name so that you can 
figure out which unittest block you're dealing with even if you can't name it 
yourself  ( http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5587 ), and not even 
that's been done yet. Though now that I read through that enhancement request 
again, it looks like theres an old pull request with the necessary changes in 
it ( https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/264 ), but it's one of 
those that's been sitting around for a long time, probably because it's an 
enhancement rather than a bug fix, and Walter just hasn't gotten around to it.
