My opinion hasn't changed since last review - it is a very solid 
and useful library but I don't want provided API to become 
standard (== part of Phobos).

I also don't like mixing unittest and higher level functional 
tests (with setup and cleanup phases) into the same buckets - 
this doesn't fit nice with D module system. Latter should be 
placed in a separate modules/package to avoid being picked up by 
rdmd & Co when compiled as dependency.

At the same time actual test running facilities (parallel, 
randomized, etc) look generally applicable and uncontroversial.
