I’ve been looking for information about the fact that tests in CommonTest that use the idiomatic “fun `test name wrapped in back ticks`()” do not compile in JS (fails with illegal character message). Could this be an unreported bug? Or have I missed an issue or Slack message that addresses the undesirable behavior?

I'm not sure if it's a bug or if the backtick methods are an "accidental feature" (that isn't officially supported), but if you find a ticket, please let me know 🙂

Backtick methods aren’t an accidental feature
