Hm... `public unittest` syntax?

The problem I see with that syntax is that `public:` is way way 
more likely than `static:`.

Perhaps you mean ddoc'd unittests? Maybe...

I dislike comments affecting code generation (one of the reasons 
I think we should never have `__traits(getDocumentation, 
symbol)`), and also you may want to ddoc private functions for 
internal docs.

I'm not attached to the `static unittest` syntax, it's just 
what's handy. A `core.attribute` UDA would work fine for me.
