An example's doctest directives modify doctest's behavior for that single
example. Use ``+`` to enable the named behavior, or ``-`` to disable it.

Without the directive it would fail, both because the actual output doesn't have
two blanks before the single-digit list elements, and because the actual output
is on a single line. This test also passes, and also requires a directive to do
