-// Formatting library for C++ - assertion tests
+// Formatting library for C++ - FMT_ASSERT test
+//
+// It is a separate test to minimize the number of EXPECT_DEBUG_DEATH checks
+// which are slow on some platforms. In other tests FMT_ASSERT is made to throw
+// an exception which is much faster and easier to check.
