+- Thanks to Edward Loper, doctest has been massively refactored, and
+ many new features were added. Full docs will appear later. For now
+ the doctest module comments and new test cases give good coverage.
+ The refactoring provides many hook points for customizing behavior
+ (such as how to report errors, and how to compare expected to actual
+ output). New features include a <BLANKLINE> marker for expected
+ output containing blank lines, options to produce unified or context
+ diffs when actual output doesn't match expectations, an option to
+ normalize whitespace before comparing, and an option to use an
+ ellipsis to signify "don't care" regions of output.
