I wonder if there's a way to mitigate that problem with a language
feature. Perhaps marking the unittest as 'extern' would make the
unittest only have access to public symbols in the module.

That way you never get into the situation where testing something from
within a unittest seems to work, but completely forgetting that you're
calling a private or package function.
