New submission from Andrei Kulakov <andrei....@gmail.com>:

It would be useful to have +REPORT_NDIFF option applied to pdb doctests because 
it makes it much more convenient to add / modify pdb tests, to fix pdb bugs, 
add pdb features.

I've worked on two pdb issues in the last few months and I wasn't aware of 
+REPORT_NDIFF, and so I was just looking at the output of failing tests (which 
are very long for some pdb tests), and comparing them manually.

This option, when enabled, automatically provides diff with in-line highlighted 
difference for a failed doctest. Otherwise two chunks of text are provided, 
'EXPECTED' and 'GOT ...'.
