No, you're not.

Unfortunately this is how compile-time reflection works in D: at 
the module level (or lower). If you want to reflect on all 
modules in a project, then the build system has to generate the 
file that does the reflection for you. There is currently no way 
to reflect on a package. This is why unit-threaded has a dub 
configuration to generate the file that drives the reflection, by 
looking at the file system and writing out something that looks 
like this:

import unit_threaded;

int main(string[] args) {
     return args.runTests!("module1", "module2", ...);
}

You'd have to do something similar.

Alternatively, just use unit-threaded. ;)
