You can also document your edgecase in the same way as comments

unittests.
This is true in theory, but in practice, it almost never happens.
There is no guarantee that doctests will contain useful text, but they
encourage text which has a greater chance of being useful than no text
at all.
Agreed. But unittests are for certain tests more suitable. E.g. if
you need a complex and bigger fixture or something like that.
Unit testst don't make it any easier or harder to write test
fixtures. They *do* encourage the use of inheritance to write text
fixtures, which tends, in my experience to make them harder to
understand.
