Did you have a look at:
CMakeParseArguments.cmake

cmake --help-module CMakeParseArguments

This makes it easier to parse KEYWORD arguments.

Then using the indicated module you may turn your MACRO into
something like:

UNIT_TESTS(
                    LIBRARIES ${CORE_LIBS}
                    MODULENAME core
                    TEST objecttests)
[...]

Keyword introduced arguments + ParseArgument should work.
