What would that buy you? That's what unittest blocks are for. Yes, getting 
custom annotations would be great, and then you could use @test for whatever 
you need it for, but unittest blocks are the test functions, so I'm not quite 
sure what @test would buy you. You _could_ just put a particular string in a 
name though (e.g. start all unit test functions with test) and use compile-
time reflection to find them if you really want to though (much as that isn't as 
nice as a user-defined attribute would be).
