I'm ok with getting rid of that behavior, where docstrings that contain
all those words are automatically considered optional.  It seemed
like a good idea when I made it up in 2005, but as it turns out people
are fine with putting #optional's in front of all optional doctests, and
I think having the #optional's on the doctests is also just better from
a user perspective.

And no, Michael, this isn't  a bug. It's a feature that I implemented
long ago.
