Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment:

doctests by their very nature tend to overspecify things - that's why actual 
regression tests should be written with unittest, while doctest is kept for its 
originally intended purpose of testing examples included in docstrings and 
other documentation.

Still, there's also a reason why IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL is an available 
doctest option.
