We could define a doctest unit to be a sequence of inputs followed by
some verified output, terminated by a new input.  So:

sage: 2+2
4
sage: a = 5
sage: 3+a
8

Is *two*  doctest units.    If we're testing anything at all about
running code except "it didn't crash" (e..g, the "a=5" line), then
this seems meaningful.
