Yes, I found extract.rb and looked at it, but it doen't seem to do the
same thing of doctest.
As a long time Python programmer I'm accustomed to trying my code in an
interactive Python shell while programming, doctest is useful because I
can cut and paste what I've done inside the Python shell and use it as a
test and as real documentation on the usage of what I wrote.
If I understand it correctly Florian's code seems to extract normal tests
from comments, so it's a different use case.
