Currently, in order to affect the behavior of the default unit tester, you must reimplement it.

In this code: https://github.com/dlang/druntime/blob/86e5cf3fa15afda116994da0c91f40aa7a5e6c6e/src/core/runtime.d#L562

If you define a default unit tester, it skips the normal running of unittests. The meat of actually running the unit tests should be abstracted into a function, such that you can call it but just affect the result (like if you don't want to run main, but you want to suppress a successful output).

Simple fix, just abstract the unit test running into its own function.
