A failed unit test really just means that a unit test block is

this in a more advanced way.
They could, but I think that it's pretty normal to just treat
any thrown
exception as a test failure. The only difference here and what
I've seen in
other test frameworks, is that most test frameworks would
actually tell you
what test failed, which really doesn't work in D, since
unittest blocks are
unnamed (whereas most unit test frameworks used named tests).
That's one of
the reasons why I'd love it if we could start naming unittest
blocks, but in
spite of some interest in such a feature, no one has
implemented it yet.

you can do it as a library solution just fine.
