    This is a module-global setting, and affects all future doctests run by module
    :mod:`unittest`:  the :meth:`runTest` method of :class:`DocTestCase` looks at
    the option flags specified for the test case when the :class:`DocTestCase`
    instance was constructed.  If no reporting flags were specified (which is the
    typical and expected case), :mod:`doctest`'s :mod:`unittest` reporting flags are
-   or'ed into the option flags, and the option flags so augmented are passed to the
-   :class:`DocTestRunner` instance created to run the doctest.  If any reporting

-   :mod:`doctest`'s :mod:`unittest` reporting flags are ignored.
