I feel that this is a good thing - it ensures conformity to at the least whatever the tests test for - but it isn't really an in-language feature. I feel this should be tested in a different manner. I would not know how though; a naive assumption would be to get AI to test this all automatically. But current AI probably will not be able to truly understand the problem domain at hand. It kind of cheats by looking at the already existing data, so it doesn't "understand" anything. It just copy/pastes and re-integrates based on LLMs, markov chains and what not. That's not really understanding.
