This behavior of test/unit could be modified if TEST { } existed.  The
main idea TEST { } was as a replacement for if $0 =3D=3D __FILE__ when used
for testing (like in some files in the Ruby standard library).

It could be used for running unit tests, but I've found it easier to
place them in their own files and run the tests separately.
