D unittest blocks are for code correctness (as opposed to other meanings
of the unfortunately overused term "unit testing" e.g. the functional
testing of the end product). From that point of view, there should not
be even a single test failing.

Yes, some unit test features are missing. From my day-to-day use I would
like to have the following:

- Ensure that a specific exception is thrown

- Test fixtures

That obviously reflects my use of unit tests but I really don't care how
many tests are failing. The reason is, I start with zero failures and I
finish with zero failures. Any code that breaks an existing test is
either buggy or exposes an issue with the test, which must be dealt with
right then.

How can you re-run just a failing test? (without having to run all the previous tests that will succeed?)
