I did wonder if there was some trick that could be done with defining 
functions elsewhere. I can't see how this solves it though.

Is there some way in which a global (or perhaps a hidden local) can be 
used to make sure the displayed code is correct?

I don't see how we get round the problem that a carried forward instance 
factory seems to get broken by doctest.
