Fix typo in getquotaroot parameter reported by Thierry FLORAC. Also amplify doc string for select to indicate proper way to obtain other responses.

  responsible for parsing the string.
- Renamed Parser to DocTestParser
- DocTestParser.get_*() now accept the string & name as command-line
  arguments; the parser's constructor is now empty.
- Added DocTestParser.get_doctest() method
- Replaced "doctest_factory" argument to DocTestFinder with a "parser"
  argument (takes a DocTestParser).
- Changed _tag_msg to take an indentation string argument.

the set_trace fiddling didn't make sense to me, and I ended up reworking
that part of the code.  We really do want to save and restore
pdb.set_trace, so that each dynamically nested level of doctest gets
sys.stdout fiddled to what's appropriate for *it*.  The only "trick"
really needed is that these layers of set_trace wrappers each call the
original pdb.set_trace (instead of the current pdb.set_trace).

Add missing PyAPI_FUNC/PyAPI_DATA macros.

to put details in the LaTeX docs instead, and lots of stuff in the
module docstring wasn't useful anyway.

Example.__init__.  The constructor now adds trailing newlines when
needed, and no longer distinguishes between multi- and single-line
cases for source.

the string one line at a time.  The resulting code is (in my opinion,
anyway), much easier to read.  In the process, I found and fixed a
bug in the orginal parser's line numbering in error messages (it was
inconsistant between 0-based and 1-based).  Also, check for missing
blank lines after the prompt on all prompt lines, not just PS1 lines
(test added).

Thanks to Sjoerd Mullender for the suggested change.

it.  Else when this fails, there's no way to tell which file it was
chewing on.

Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

This got slammed in when find() was fixed to stop grabbing doctests
from modules imported *by* the module being tested.  Such tests cannot
be expected to succeed, since they'll be run with the current module's
globals.  Dozens of Zope3 doctests were failing because of that.

It wasn't clear why ignore_imports got added then.  Maybe it's because
some existing tests failed when the change was made.  Whatever, it's
a Bad Idea so it's gone now.

The only use of it was exceedingly obscure, in test_doctest's "Duplicate
Removal" test.  It was "needed" there because, as an artifact of running
a doctest inside a doctest, the func_globals of functions compiled in
the second-level doctest don't match the module globals, and so the
test-finder believed these functions were from a foreign module and
skipped them.  But that took a long time to figure out, and I actually
understand some of this stuff <0.9 wink>.

That problem was resolved by moving the source code for the second-level
doctest into an actual module (test/doctest_aliases.py).

The only remaining difficulty was that the test for the deprecated
Tester.rundict() then failed, because the test finder doesn't take
module=None at face value, trying to guess which module the user really
intended then.  Its guess wasn't appropriate for what Tester.rundict
needs when module=None is given to *it*, which is "no, there is no
module here, and I mean it".  So now passing module=False means exactly
that.  This is hokey, but ignore_imports=False was really a hack to worm
around that there was no way to tell the test-finder that module=None
*sometimes* means what it says.  There was no use case for the combination
of passing a real module with ignore_imports=False.
