The patch needs to be converted into a github PR. Trevor, are you interested in 
doing that?

[issue9640] Improved doctest REPORT_*DIFFs with ELLIPSIS and/or NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE

[W. Trevor King]

New submission from W. Trevor King wk...@drexel.edu:

I had been struggling to find the failure-causing mismatch in a doctest with 
lots of output.  REPORT_UDIFF gave lots of false mismatches because I was also 
using NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE.  Looking through the doctest.py source, I saw a 
comment suggesting a nicer diff in the similar REPORT_*DIFF and ELLIPSIS 
situation.  So I went ahead and implemented one.  I'm not super happy with the 
cleanliness of the implementation, but it ended up being a bit trickier than 
I'd initially expected.
