In short, the last time I tried to add something to CI, it was not well
received, so I've been perhaps overly cautious in keeping the unit-tests
well-separated from other targets. But I can send a follow-up patch to
fold them into `make test`. Or would you prefer that I send a v11 of
js/doc-unit-tests instead?
