Why don't we inline our tests with our code?

One of my favourite things about TDD is that our tests act as documentation for our code. If I'm reading an unfamiliar codebase, and I know that it was properly TDDed, the first place I look is the tests. Well written tests tell me what the intent of some code is. Then if I'm interested in getting into the weeds of how it works, I can always read the code itself later.
