This certainly seems worth addressing.  But I would *really* rather find
a way to tell Sphinx not to do that rather than making all of these
tweaks - which we will certainly find ourselves having to do over and
over again.  I can try to look into that in a bit, but if somebody were
to beat me to it ... :)
