Since the intent of IGNOREEXCEPTIONDETAIL is to make doctests immune to implementation version specific changes, it seems to me that extending its technical meaning is required to carry out its intent.

Would this be considered bugfixy enough to get into 3.1-branch as well as 2.7? It really is damn annoying when you try to port doctests to Python 3, and it would be great if we wouldn't have to wait for 3.2. I think a patch would be helpful before deciding that.

OK, I'll will try to produce that,
