This is a childrearing technique, too: say “please do X”, where X precludes Y, rather than saying “please don’t do Y!”, which just increases the salience, and therefore likelihood, of Y.
I remember seeing a father loudly and strongly tell his daughter "DO NOT EAT THIS!" when holding one of those desiccant packets that come in some snacks. He turned around and she started to eat it.

Bats runs the test files through a preprocessor[1] that, among other things, converts each `@test` case into a shell function. E.g. `@test "the doohickey should frob" { ... }` becomes `test_the_doohickey_should_frob() { ... }`.
