That sounds a bit like magic, in the Arthur C. Clarke sense. 
Would that work in a project that other people are working on? 
(i.e., do they have to modify their compiler config files too?). 
I'd rather put the import at the top of the file, or in a 
version(unittest) block than that. The problem with those 
approaches is that if you have an example unittest, then when a 
user tries to run it then they have to put the import in 
themselves.
