         Dear Sage developers,

It's quite common that optional doctests come in batch, typically when
documenting a method that is only available when a certain feature or
package is available.

Let me add something here: often, not *every* test requires the optional package. It can happen that basic things like initializing and printing some object does not need any optional functionality. In this case, it is good to always run these tests. And having the module-level "# optional" goes against this.
