My typical use case: I work on a low level feature in file A, like
improving category stuff. Along the way, my change triggers some
failure in some doctests in some other not directly related file B:
typically some output was changed syntactically though it is
semantically equivalent, and things might evolve further; or maybe I
am not sure yet whether the change is desirable or not. In doubt, I
prefer not to touch file B at this point in time, to avoid creating
conflicts with other patches lower in the queue.

Cheers,
