It would be nice to be able to do this in a Ruby file:

# main code
__TEST__
# code that will be used if called directly
__END__
# stuff for DATA

Hmmm... on the other hand, most of my ruby files that have unit tests=20
look like this:

if $0 =3D=3D __FILE__ or defined? Test::Unit
  require 'test/unit'
 =20
  class SomeTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
    # whatever
  end
end

Then, I have something like this in a Makefile:

RUNTESTS=3D-rtest/unit -e 'Dir["*.rb"].each { |f| require f }'
test:
	@ruby $(RUNTESTS)

This lets me call a file directly to test it, or have them batched for=20
regression test running very easily.

I'm not sure a mechanism like __TEST__ would help me in this case=20
(although, it wouldn't *hurt*).
