    concise |kənˈsīs|, adj.

    giving a lot of information clearly and in a few words; brief but
    comprehensive.

Compare:

    Scenario: Defining the function foldl
      Given I want do define foldl
      Which has the type (in brackets) a to b to a (end of brackets),
                         to a, to list of b, to a
      And my arguments are called f, acc, and l
      When l is empty
      Then the result better be acc
      Otherwise l is x cons xs
      Then the result should be foldl f (in brackets) f acc x
                                (end of brackets) xs

To:

    foldl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
    foldl f z []     = z
    foldl f z (x:xs) = foldl f (f z x) xs

How is that more concise or preferable?
