With more features clang-tidy gets the discrepancies between how unit tests work and how clang-tidy works become larger. I wouldn't like to mirror every clang-tidy feature in the code that supports unit tests. We should either expose more high-level APIs or use clang-tidy itself and lit tests. (I personally like the latter more, since lit tests tend to be closer to the real use cases and are easier to write and iterate on.)
