How does someone write unit tests for functions that are declared ` STATIC ( https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/3907f8a0bab35c90a0d4ee0352a6fdec04b35bd2/BaseTools/Source/C/Include/Common/BaseTypes.h#L26 ) `? Clearly there are some functions where the answer is "you don't, leave it alone, there's a good reason we didn't export it." But in cases where there is a lot of logic in a static function, it's a really good idea to test that. In the past, I've seen something like

```
#ifdef UNIT_TEST
#define STATIC
#else
#define STATIC static
#endif
```

to enable unit tests to call static functions. Would something like this be acceptable upstream?
