Sorry, one more thing worth considering is the ability to add tests
inline with production code (where the test code can be removed in
production builds). There are a number of benefits to this and, I think
it is a useful feature to have. I saw this feature being advertised for
a C++ testing framework called doctest [1], but I assume it is also
possible in C. Could you include it as another (nice to have?) feature
under the "Developer experience" category? (Or, reject it if this
"inlined tests" style is not possible in C?)
