Description
Motivated by #12880, which proposes adding even more content to the "getting started with pytest" page, intended for teaching the very basics of pytest's functionality:
Personally I think exception groups shouldn't be on a page describing how to write your first test at all. It's not a feature new pytest (and potentially Python) users necessarily need to know about when just starting out. We don't even explain e.g. match=
for pytest.raises
on that page.
If we keep it, at the very least it shouldn't be between an example being shown, and that example being run later...:
But IMHO it has no place there at all, and the How to write and report assertions in tests page already has a very similar explanation, where it does seem to fit in well.
