New submission from W. Trevor King <wk...@drexel.edu>: I had been struggling to find the failure-causing mismatch in a doctest with lots of output. REPORT_UDIFF gave lots of false mismatches because I was also using NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE. Looking through the doctest.py source, I saw a comment suggesting a nicer diff in the similar REPORT_*DIFF and ELLIPSIS situation. So I went ahead and implemented one. I'm not super happy with the cleanliness of the implementation, but it ended up being a bit trickier than I'd initially expected.
