# tol disables the meaning of ellipsis in doctesting

[cschwan]

To reproduce the behavior take e.g. the doctest starting at sage/numerical/mip.pyx:2031 (p.solve() # tol 0.00001) and replace in the expected output the version string (v4.44) with the ellipsis (...). The test fails as long as it is marked with the # tol attribute. See also dicussion at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/E2kwJLVaJx4.

I agree this is a bug, however it looks quite tricky to fix. As long as the ... doesn't match any floats, it should work fine. The problem is that the code which handles floats and the code which handles ... is completely separate. I think this is too hard to get right, so I propose "wontfix".
