If we actually want to make unittests work just like functions
(__FUNCTION__, identifier which are visible in stacktraces) then we
could also simply declare functions and mark them as (@)unittest:

unittest void myUnittest()
{
    
}

This then allows for further improvements in the future, for example a
unit test can then return a result value (skipped, error, ..) or it
could optionally receive parameters (like some kind of state from a
unittest framework)
