I monitor changes to the Wikipedia doctest page, and so noticed a
change in the Ruby implementation of doctest.

Scooting around their implementation I found that they have an !!!
special directive that says drop into the interpreter at this point
when testing allowing debugging in context.

Whereas Python has the more wordy version which works anywhere in ordinary
code or in doctests:

>>> import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
