Comment (by stumpc5):

 Replying to [comment:46 mantepse]:
 > Well, but if this doctest (as currently written) doesn't pass, the
 interface will not work reliably: user might get a result where her
 statistic is produced via a map from a statistic on the new collection.

 I am not necessarily arguing about doctest that tests whether the
 interface still works well (even though my general concern also applies to
 those, and e.g. the OEIS interface was broken several times IIRC).

 What about the doctest
 {{{
 sage: print findstat(1).description() # optional -- internet
 The number of ways to write a permutation as a minimal length product of
 simple transpositions.
 }}}
 after someone has changed the description of this statistic? Or the case
 that we added another collection -- would that break the interface, or
 would it only not serve the new collection as long as it is not added?
