 👍

 Those are in the making (PHPUnitQA PHPCS standard), but it may still quite
 be a while before there is a ready-to-use release.
 In the mean time, for at least some parts of this, feel free to ping me
 either with ideas for scans to add or to check if I have a scan available
 & for me to post the results somewhere.

 > or at least recommend using assertSame() in the core contributor
 handbook

 Sounds like a good idea.
