Although it takes some work, you can debug gunit.  You'll need to grab
the source and then set appropriate breakpoints as one normally would
in working with a debugger, but it's possible.

A patched version of gunit is available that includes better support
for custom ASTs:

I know I found source for it somewhere and was able to debug another
problem, so hopefully you can do the same.
