+//! # Test history
+//!
+//! - The previous rmake.rs iteration of this test was flakey for unknown reason on `i686-mingw`
+//!   *specifically*, so assertion failures in this test was made extremely verbose to help
+//!   diagnose why the ICE messages was different *specifically* on `i686-mingw`.
+//! - An attempt is made to re-enable this test on `i686-mingw` (by removing `ignore-windows`). If
+//!   this test is still flakey, please restore the `ignore-windows` directive.
