 **Rationale:** marks provide an easy way to find the canonical test for each bit of code.
 This makes it much easier to understand.
+More than one mark per test / code branch doesn't add significantly to understanding.
+
+## `#[should_panic]`
+
+Do not use `#[should_panic]` tests.
+Instead, explicitly check for `None`, `Err`, etc.
+
+**Rationale:**a `#[should_panic]` is a tool for library authors, to makes sure that API does not fail silently, when misused.
+`rust-analyzer` is not a library, we don't need to test for API misuse, and we have to handle any user input without panics.
+Panic messages in the logs from the `#[should_panic]` tests are confusing.
