Summary: doctest and exception messages

Initial Comment:
doctest should include information something like this:

    doctest docstrings should not rely on the text of internal Python
    exceptions.  Notice the way factorial() uses its own error messages
    with the standard Python exceptions.  The internal messages can
    change even in bugfix releases (as in 2.2.1 to 2.2.2).

Couldn't doctest be modified so that it only compares the
exception
name only?
