I never got how you are using doctests. There were certainly not meant 
for heavy-duty unit testing, but for testing combined with explanation. 
Section 26.2.3.7. (in 3.3) Warnings warns that they are fragile to even 
single char changes and suggests == as a workaround, as 'True' and 
'False' will not change. So I would not reject that option.
