Content
Failure modes tend to get less attention that successful behavior. If I wrote a program that used doctest/unittest to test multiple files, I should like it to run an many as possible. If a filename is bad, print name as usual, say 'aborted', and '0/0 tests' run. Then at the end tell me via return value or exception about problems. In any case, having error behavior documented and consistent between modules would be good. I am not sure how much of this would be a bugfix versus enhancement.
