We really need to decide what dependencies we are willing to tolerate in 
the unit test library.

If we want fuller functionality which comes at the cost of dependencies, 
that may well mean that test tools can't use unit test.  Otherwise, 
dependency on regex would mean we can't test regex itself, and if regex 
fails for a platform, we can't test on that platform at all.
