I think we can handle this without compiler help.

The runtime is responsible for running unit tests.

It actually provides a hook to allow you to override the unit tests.  See  
here: http://dlang.org/phobos/core_runtime.html#.Runtime.moduleUnitTester  
(set in a shared static ctor).  All you have to do is just run the  
module's unit tests you desire.

I would argue the "stock" unit test runner could be configured by an  
environment variable to be able to run/exclude whatever you want.  This is  
eminently fixable in the library with a small pull request.
