Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Replying to [comment:5 rlm]:

 > I did test this,

 (Yes, but you weren't the reviewer.)

 > and I found something slightly different from what you claim: the script
 takes the tags in the doctest and converts them to lower case, while not
 doing the same for the command line arguments. So the combination `#
 optional - BLAH` plus `-only-optional=blah` works, while neither `#
 optional - BLAH` plus `-only-optional=BLAH` nor `# optional - blah` plus
 `-only-optional=BLAH` works.

 You're right, I mixed this up here (but I think I got it right on #9272).

 > In my recent sage-devel post, I mentioned that there is no support for
 `OR` in this scheme. My solution was to have doctests requiring GLPK or
 CBC to have both listed, and to use `-only-optional=glpk,cbc` when either
 is installed.

 Right, my question is whether we should put a comment about this at the
 top of the affected files, or do we just trust people to know how to use
 "-only-optional"?

 > I meant to remove CPLEX from *all* the tests, since there is no cplex
 package.

 I think this flag probably still belongs in {{{mip_cplex.pyx}}}, if no
 place else.  Someone might have CPLEX installed separately from Sage, and
 having a mechanism to test is not a bad idea.  ("optional" tags don't need
 to correspond to packages, like {{{# optional - internet}}} or {{{#
 optional - Mathematica}}}.)
