Comment (by klee):

 The behavior "--optional" tag has changed after the merged ticket:
 http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18558, but the developer's manual seems
 not updated completely to reflect the changes. The following is from
 experiments and the documentation. So would you verify my understanding?

 (1) "-t" : tests all ordinary doctests and also doctests about installed
 optional packages, in effect equivalent to "-t --optional=optional".
 (2) "-t --optional": no-op
 (3) "-t --optional=PKGS":   only run doctests including one of the "#
 optional - xxx" tags where xxx is listed in PKGS;
                                      if "sage" is listed will also test
 the standard doctests;
                                      if "optional" is listed will also
 test all available(installed) optional packages;
                                      if set to "all", then all tests will
 be run;
 If this is correct, then

 (A)  Via this ticket I want to add one more line to (3):

                                     if "external" is listed, then also
 include all doctests  with "# optional - xxx" where xxx is an available
 external softwares and resources like "magma", "matlab", "internet",
 "latex", etc (basically everything that is not a Sage standard or optional
 package).

 (B) Also we can change (1) to equate "-t" to "-t
 --optional=optional,external".

 Do you agree?
