Private unit tests are used to prevent documented tests from appearing as
example code. But currently if a unittest is within a private: block or marked
private, you may not invoke it. This means that replacement unit test
frameworks aren't able to actually run the tests though the default one can.
This isn't an issue with __traits(getUnitTests), but AFAIK it's the only way to
actually access the tests to invoke them in the first place (excluding invoking
the entire module's tests at once through ModuleInfo).
