   pytest does not.
   Our tests are fully dependent on pytest so there's no use in retaining `unittest` compatibility for this single point.
   Making a few tests `unittest` compatible is not useful compared with the cost of inconsistency.
+- Avoid monkey-patching (assigning to a method on a class object or instance)
+  as much as possible, and if necessary, opt for it in an explicit and scoped
+  manner using the `monkeypatch` fixture with a context manager, instead of
+  silencing mypy using `# type: ignore[assignment]`.
+  While in both cases we're signaling to the reader that something smelly/shady
+  is going on, and type safety is lost, the monkeypatch approach with a context
+  manager allows us to make the scope of the change controlled consistently.
