[plt-scheme] slatex and including unit testable code

Well, you probably wouldn't need to hack the parser to go that route.
You can use read-syntax to get a version of the file as a value that
has the source locations in it and then reconstruct things from there.
Not trivial, but at least you can rely on the manuals for help :)
