I think you're going to need a metaclass for this, e.g.::
>>> import inspect
>>> def registered(func):
... func.registered = True
... return func
...
>>> class RegisterFuncs(type):
... def __init__(cls

I have an optparse-like module and though I have a full unittest-style
suite of tests for it, I'd also like to be able to run doctest on the
documentation to make sure my examples all work. However, I see that
doctest (1) doesn't capture anything from sys.stderr, and (2) unlike the
normal inte

preference here seems pretty arbitrary.
