The documentation for DocTestSuite in doctest have the following signature.

DocTestSuite(module=None, globs=None, extraglobs=None, test_finder=None, setUp=None, tearDown=None, checker=None)

But the documentation also talks about optionflags.

Optional arguments setUp, tearDown, and optionflags are the same as for function DocFileSuite() above.

In my opinion, when setUp and trearDown are mentioned in the signature, optionflags should be in the signature too.

I've created PR in case the issue is correct.
