If you do manage to ignore the output, how will you know that the syntax 
is correct?  The output for an incorrect syntax line will be an 
exception, which you'll ignore.  Maybe I don't know enough about the 
details of doctest.  It's always seemed incredibly limited to me.  
Essentially, it's as if you used unittest but the only assertion you're 
allowed to make is self.assertEqual(str(X), "....")
