Ticket #6439 suggests that if code has

   Sage: ...

in an EXAMPLES block, then it should be flagged as an error, because
presumably the author intended it to say

   sage: ...

and with "Sage: ..." the example isn't actually doctested.  I vote
against this change: I don't see a reason why we should try to detect
this typo more than anything else.  (Or if we want to make this
change, should we also flag "sgae:", for instance?)   Note that with
"sage -t -verbose ..." you can see exactly which tests are being run.
Referees should also be on the lookout for any typos, including ones
like this. So I would like the ticket to be closed without fixing it,
but I think this deserves some discussion.

Votes for closing without fixing?

I say +1.
