[New-bugs-announce] [issue15629] Run doctests in Doc/*.rst as part of regrtest

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

This issue is to start running (at least some of) the doctests in the Doc/ folder's *.rst files as part of regrtest.

We will need a whitelist mechanism to tell regrtest which files to process since currently many doctests are not runnable (e.g. some kind of "doctest-safe" marker that can go in a file as suggested by Nick).
