That is the problem. One needs to import all other modules. That's not a 
good solution when creating a unit test framework. One would basically 
have to scan a directory for all D files. Then generate a new file that 
imports all these files, with a main function that runs all tests.

Alternatively have something like RTInfo but for modules:

Unfortunately my solution has the same problem as RTInfo, one needs to 
modify object.d. I had an idea that would solve this both for RTInfo and 
the new RMInfo, but that would most likely require building an 
associative array at runtime. That was not liked. See the comments in 
the pull requests and this:
