Comment:

 I think we should find a way to remove optional tags that aren't actually
 optional (`scons`? `python2`?).  It's just confusing.

 The following doesn't provide me any way to tell that the problem was with
 a `gambit` optional test (it's not broken, I just broke it to test this.
 {{{
 sage -t src/sage/game_theory/gambit_docs.py
 **********************************************************************
 File "src/sage/game_theory/gambit_docs.py", line 124, in
 sage.game_theory.gambit_docs
 Failed example:
     g[int(2), int(0)][int(0)] = int(0)  # optional - gambit
 Exception raised:
 <snip>
     IndexError: Provided strategy index 2 out of range for player 0
 **********************************************************************
 1 item had failures:
    1 of  13 in sage.game_theory.gambit_docs
     [12 tests, 1 failure, 0.14 s]

 sage -t src/sage/game_theory/gambit_docs.py  # 1 doctest failed

 }}}
 I'm saying that this works, apparently, but doesn't give any indication
 that it failed due to an ''optional'' test.  'Needs work' or at least
 'needs info'.

 Do you have a suggestion for how to test
 
http://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/commit/?id=24db9dc2556b7da256e5ef7e0a127e460ad83979
 by the way?  Do you have an optional package I could test that isn't up-
 to-date? I hate to regress to a previous Sage, install the package, then
 tediously build Sage back up to `develop` to try this...
