Thank you, that is a very interesting thread. Clearly the creator of doctests, 
Tim Peters, is a well-regarded person in the Python world. 

On the other hand, I was surprised to see some of the examples used in the 
present-day documentation in Tim's original 1999 message. I find it remarkable 
that in 18 years since then, no rewrite or editing has replaced those examples 
with better ones.
