I'd take tests over docs but that's a false dilemma.

What does the (Copilot) /tests command do, compared to a prompt like "Generate tests for #symbolname, run them, and modify the FUT function under test and run the tests in a loop until the tests pass"?

Documentation is probably key to the Django web framework's success, for example.
