We should point out that if someone actually checks in this code, his/her test will hang (i.e., don't check it in).

I pushed up wording changes for this one (and copied them to the second doc of this feature).

It's just as relevant to unit tests and I wish I had seen it earlier. Stress the transient nature of this debugging step.
