Hm. This broke a few doctests. I can fix them, but I wonder if
doctest should accept a bare exception name if the exception
is defined in the current module. Or should it ignore the module
name altogether?

(Background:

In normal exception tracebacks, non-builtin exceptions are printed with
their module name prepended:

Traceback:
[...]
decimal.InvalidOperation: ...

When formatted by traceback.format_exception_only, the module name was
omitted, which the patch mentioned above corrected. Since doctest relies
on that behavior, three stdlib doctests broke.)
