Replying to [comment:7 jhpalmieri]:
> Regarding the message: I think that this behavior needs to be
documented. If the main reason for using `DOCTEST_MODE` or similar is to
avoid a patchbomb, it might be better to bite the bullet and patch all of
the files.
I think I agree. It seems like using DOCTEST_MODE here would just be a way
to avoid a big patch. We should use that when it truly makes sense to
suppress output and I don't see that here. If we're going to change basic
behavior, it seems reasonable that the new behavior be reflected in
doctests.
I'll fix the doctests, but it'll be a large, bitrot-prone patch (or set of
patches), so before proceeding I'd like some more feedback on whether
people really want this.
