It says that using the option flag ELLIPSIS, an ellipsis marker (...) in the expected output can match any substring in the actual output. I guess sage -t sets that marker. But neither at http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-doctest.html nor in the Sage documentation I found * how I can say that in the following example (and *only* there), '...' is not an ellipsis but the actual expected output * why '... loops, best of ...: ... per loop' led to 'expected nothing'.
