Why is this error only found when declaring a class in the
unittest?
A unittest is just a special function, it can run code and have
local variables.
classes and structs declared inside it have access to those
local contexts, which it calls the outer function context.
Make the outer class `static` too to lift it out of this and
your error should go away.
That's very informative, I didn't realize that `unittest` is
actually a function.
It raises another question one step deeper, what does it mean to
define a non-static class within a function? Does that class
inherit the scope of the function it is inside, similar to how an
inner class does with an outer class?
