I would still like to know precisely what you have in mind, though. :)

At first, I wanted to put the unit test in the .src/.unit directory. It  
was compiling and running fine, but the directory (and its files) didn't  
show up in the IDE. So until the IDE supports it, tests will stay in  
.src/unit.

I like the idea of putting them in a new .unit directory next to .src, but  
this may require quite a bit of changes in the compiler. I guess Benoît  
will tell us if it is (reasonably) possible.
