init_unit_test_suite is required in comparatively small number of cases. 
Test unit dependency specification is one of them (though I may consider 
supporting dependency specification for auto test units in a future). For 
the most test modules (like the one in OP) you could use auto test cases 
instead. It's save you from unnecessary work of manual test case 
registration.
