What I have done in some of my modules is to make them

returns a table containing some local functions, cached
while they were visible. Then `lunit` or a similar tool can test
`mymod`, and some special-purpose tool that I have control
over can test `private`.

 

Love it. How did you stumble across this idea? :)

Previously I'd done things like define a global _TEST, and changed what I export depending on it's value. But I always hated it.
