Named unittests is a rather often requested feature.  Others also wanted
__UNITTEST__ to expand into a name of the current unittest.  Also a
'weak assert' was requested which tests and prints a message but delays
exit until the end of the current unit test.

Somebody should really write a DIP on this.
