So now we are going to change the language for this ?

There is a natural name for unitests, the name of the module. We 
have way to break module into pieces in a backward compatible 
manner now, so it's all good.

We may want to add various annotation to a test, and we have UDA 
for that.

So the only things that is really needed is a way to customize 
the test runner from client code to output whatever everybody 
needs.
