Actually @disable is better. version(none) completely ignores the test.
But @disable could set a disabled bool in the UnitTest struct (and set
the function pointer to null). This way you can easily get all disabled
unittests:

./unittest --show-disabled
=========================== core.thread ============================
src/core/thread.d:1761
...

This can be implemented with 3 lines of additional code. The real
question is if it's ok to reuse @disable for this.
