I have one other use case for the same need.

The use case is behavior-driven development using TickSpec (https://github.com/fsprojects/TickSpec). TickSpec is a .NET framework for BDD tests that allows generating tests from feature files on runtime instead of compilation time. The benefit of runtime generation is that business people can write new tests just with feature file changes when they reuse existing steps.

When you use BDD then you have many feature files which each contain several scenarios. We are able to generate on runtime when using NUnit or xUnit tests that show in Test Explorer as a test per scenario. When we try the same with MSTest we only get one test in Test Explorer. It is unusable even with just 20 scenarios and you can have many more, thousands.

Closing this as we are moving repository to the main one. Also, I opened a ticket for us to revisit documentation of existing behaviors.
