some additional assert-like functions could be useful (similar

Sorry but it feels like you didn't really investigate the topic.
D built-in unit-test facilities are a basic and extendable
framework. Many notable unittest libraries work on top of it
(using custom assert helpers and/or __traits(getUnittests)) being
at the same time perfectly compatible with raw `dmd -unittest
-main -run file.d`.
At the very same time built-in reporting facilities are very
limited and almost any bigger project will want some extension.
Assuming full compatibility with built-in ones and zero external
dependencies I don't see why this can't go to Phobos.
