Summary: Add encoding to DocFileSuite

Initial Comment:
If one writes doctests within documentation strings of classes and 
functions, it's possible to use non-ASCII characters since one can 
specify the encoding used in the source file.

But if one wants to combine the documentation and testing, by 
writing a text file, and thus use DocFileSuite, it's not possible to use 
non-ASCII characters in the tests. This is because there's no way 
of specifying which encoding the text file uses. Instead one has to 
\-quote all non-ASCII characters, and that makes the tests harder 
to read IMHO.
