Comment (by justin):

 The following seems to show that Sage parsing is bypassed, in some way,
 when using single-quote marks for docstrings.

 {{{
 sage: def foo(x):
    ....:     """
    ....:     it's a comment.
    ....:     """
    ....:     return x^2
    ....:
 sage: foo(3)
 9
 sage: def foo(x):
    ....:     '''
    ....:     It's a comment.
    ....:     '''
    ....:     return x^2
    ....:
 sage: foo(3)
 1
 }}}
 In the first case, "!^" is exponentiation; in the second, XOR.
