Walkthrough

The coding guidelines documentation (doc/develop/coding-guidelines.rst) is updated at lines 163–164. The existing rule allowing docstrings to be omitted for very short and self-explanatory test methods is extended to also explicitly state that type hints in the function signature are not required for such tests.

Improve grammar in line 163.

The phrase "explain what all it does" is slightly awkward; it should read "explain what it does" for standard English.
