This allows complete + separation of testing and productive code. At the moment + it is not possible to combine this with a test code + coverage using the cover module. The problem is that when + cover compiling a module using cover:compile_* the code + is reloaded into the emulator omitting/filtering the + passed user options. In my example above the export_all + option would be removed and the non-exported functions + cannot be called any more.
