Note that this subdirectory currently conflates many reasons why a test may be optional -- it may be because tests within a particular file are indeed not required by the specification but still potentially useful to an implementer, or it may be because tests within it only apply to programming languages with particular functionality (in which case they are not truly optional in such a language). In the future this directory structure will be made richer to reflect these differences more clearly.

 The tests are organized by specification release and then into two categories: content and structure.
 
-Content tests verify that the keywords are producing the correct annotations and/or error messages.  Since there are no requirements on the content of error messages, there's not much that can be verified for them, but it is possible to identify when a error message _could_ be present.  Primarily, these tests need to extensively cover the annotation behaviors of each keyword.  The only output format needed for these tests is `basic` for 2019-09/2020-12 and `list` for later versions.
