New description:
The examples contained in the coding theory tutorial were never tested
because they began with "Sage :" instead of "sage:".
This is reformatted in #17616 but many doctests were broken and were
flagged as "not tested". Somebody who understands coding theory should go
over them and fix them properly.
Even the sentence
> Included in Sage is the group theory package GAP [GAP] and GUAVA
[GUAVA], GAP’s coding theory package. All of GUAVA’s functions can be
accessed within Sage.
is wrong, as GUAVA is optional, part of `gap_packages`.
