Another thought, though maybe this is already covered and I missed the
"best practices" notes on naming conventions.

As the "one-off" tests are already named "foo_test.c" it seems like
KUnit tests should be named distinctly. Should this be lib/kunit-list.c,
lib/list-kunit.c, or something else?

For internal naming of structs and tests, should things be
named "kunit_foo"? Examples here would be kunit_list_struct and
kunit_list_test_...

When testing other stuff, should only exposed interfaces be tested?
Many things have their API exposed via registration of a static structure
of function pointers to static functions. What's the proposed best way
to get at that? Should the KUnit tests is IN the .c file that declares
all the static functions?
