From: Elijah Newren <redacted> I had long since forgotten the idea behind this test and why it failed, and took a little while to figure it out. To prevent others from having to spend a similar time on it, add an explanation in the comments. However, the reasoning in the explanation makes me question why I considered it a failure at all. I'm not sure if I had a better reason when I originally wrote it, but for now just add commentary about the possible expectations and why it behaves the way it does right now.
