[issue4899] doctest should support fixtures

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I concur with David.  This is not in the spirit of the doc test module.
 We already have the heavy-weight unittest module as an alternative when
more firepower is needed.  Also, adding more infra-structure to the this
already lengthy module will make it harder to learn, use, and remember.

Tim, I recommend rejecting this request.
