True -- I forgot about that.

If you want it, the code's in a public subversion repository:
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dmocks/dunit/trunk/
modules dunit.expect and dunit.constraint

Currently BSD licensed, but if anyone wants it in a different license, 
that's up for negotiation. Though I think it would take some effort to 
make it work with Phobos.
