It wouldn't be the first time we've broken doc tests that way. Since the
details of the error messages aren't guaranteed to remain the same
across releases, doctests that aren't part of Python's own test suite
really should be using IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL when checking for
exceptions that are raised directly by the interpreter or standard library.

Cheers,
