Look for the presence of non-ascii characters in python and cython files.

This detects the presence of the encoding line at the top of files.

Check that doctest continuation use the correct syntax, namely ....:

Check that some bad latex code does not appear.

This means '\choose', '\over', '\atop', '\above', '\overwithdelims', '\atopwithdelims', '\abovewithdelims'.
