I realized you can run a library/module in a DrScheme buffer, with the
syntactic test suite coverage enabled for the language mode, and then in
the interactions window, which evaluates in the environment of being
inside the library/module, you can paste the entire unit test program
(minus any R6RS import form (I don't know about require forms)) into one
(begin ---) and then execute this giant begin expression, and when it's
done, the syntactic coverage is updated showing what the test program
covered :)  You have to temporarily add to the imports of the library
any imports of the test program not already imported by the library so
that the pasted-in program has the things it needs.  I haven't yet done
this with all my test programs, but it seems to work pretty good :)
