Description
I tried this code:
/// Example
///
/// Footnote with multiple paragraphs[^multiple]
///
/// [^multiple]:
/// One
///
/// Two
///
/// Three
pub fn add(left: u64, right: u64) -> u64 {
left + right
}
This is a footnote with multiple paragraphs. It renders correctly in the documentation:

However, running as a doctest fails:
running 1 test
test src/lib.rs - add (line 8) ... FAILED
failures:
---- src/lib.rs - add (line 8) stdout ----

Couldn't compile the test.

Somehow the doctest collector seems to not understand that there are footnotes. I would expect this to be ignored.
