Sure, this topic was already discussed in __traits(getUnittest)
context recently, similar problem. You can find all classes that
transitively accessible from context via imports - this is a
natural limitation of compile-time reflection. Sometimes it is
enough, sometimes registration is necessary. But it is a nice
tool to have.
