Is there some mistake in this post? I find that there *is* an article at

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctest

but that

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocTest

doesn't refer to an extant article. Since you claim to be exercising 
your pedantry, I wonder why I get the results I do. Since we *are* being 
pedantic, by the way, surely the name is actually "doctest", not "Doctest".
