Comment (by cremona):
It seems that this doctest is intended to illustrate that specifying
"gens=" when cponstructing a curve from its label might be ignored when
the curve is in the database. But there is a danger: the default
database contains curves of conductors up to 10000 but does *not* contain
their generators. So this is a test whose output will depend on whether
or not the optional extended database is installed, something which we
have been trying to avoid.
I hope the authors of #11474 (not me!) will be able to say whether I have
got this diagnosis right.
