Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:

Terry, your suggested replacement statement looks like an improvement to me. 
Perhaps the longer explanation could be placed in a footnote.

Note that I'm old ;-) I grew up on plain old ASCII, decades & decades ago, and 
tabs are in fact the only "characters" I've had a problem with in doctests. But 
then, e.g., I never in my life used goofy things like ASCII "form feed" 
characters, or NUL bytes, or ... in text either.

I don't use Unicode either, except to the extent that Python forces me to when 
I'm sticking printable ASCII characters inside string quotes ;-)
