Start deferring to the LaTeX docs for details. I'd like to move the 

docstrings toward being a lot shorter, and telling the whole truth in
the manual instead.  This change is an example:  the manual has detailed
explanations of the option names now, so it's Bad to repeat them in
the docstring (two detailed descriptions are certain to get out of synch).
Just listing the names has memory-jogging benefits, though, so that's
still helpful in the docstring.

Optional keyword arg "optionflags" or's together module constants,

and defaults to 0. This is new in 2.3. Possible values (see the
docs for details):
DONT_ACCEPT_TRUE_FOR_1
By default, if an expected output block contains just "1",
an actual output block containing just "True" is considered
to be a match, and similarly for "0" versus "False". When
DONT_ACCEPT_TRUE_FOR_1 is specified, neither substitution
is allowed.
DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE
By default, if an expected output block contains a line
containing only the string "<BLANKLINE>", then that line
will match a blank line in the actual output. When
DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE is specified, this substitution is
not allowed.
NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
When NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE is specified, all sequences of
whitespace are treated as equal. I.e., any sequence of
whitespace within the expected output will match any
sequence of whitespace within the actual output.
ELLIPSIS
When ELLIPSIS is specified, then an ellipsis marker
("...") in the expected output can match any substring in
the actual output.
UNIFIED_DIFF
When UNIFIED_DIFF is specified, failures that involve
multi-line expected and actual outputs will be displayed
using a unified diff.
CONTEXT_DIFF
When CONTEXT_DIFF is specified, failures that involve
multi-line expected and actual outputs will be displayed
using a context diff.
NDIFF_DIFF
Optional keyword arg "raise_on_error" raises an exception on the
first unexpected exception or failure. This allows failures to be
