Comment (by thomie):

 Go for it.

 Either create a separate `doctest` target in the testsuite (see
 `testsuite/Makefile`, `testsuite/mk/test.mk` and
 `testsuite/tests/Makefile`), and have `validate` call that. Or add it
 simply as a `run_command` test.

 Think about what should happen when the user doesn't have `doctest`
 installed.
