Which test is this? We should recommend assert.strictEqual I guess.

I think we should still align the code part perfectly.

LGTM.
I agree with @thefourtheye that if we can align the code (probably just add an extra space at the start of lines 1-9?), that would be preferable.

LGTM, but I don't think we should make this a hard requirement.

Description of change
When debugging tests it is a huge help to have some basic information about what the purpose of the test actually is, especially as the person who originally wrote the test may no longer be active. This updates the Writing Tests guide to require that.
It's unlikely that anyone is going to have the time or the inclination to go through every test adding documentation, but specifying that we'd like some would be a good start.
Nits/bikeshedding/flat-out disagreement welcome!
