Hi,

I've been spending the last few days going between writing a lot of
code with very math heavy Sphinx docstrings containing many backticks,
and writing LaTeX documents (papers/notes/etc.) using $ signs for math
mode.  It is driving me totally crazy!  I constantly accidentally put
$'s in my Spinx docstrings and now I'm starting to put back ticks ` in
my LaTeX documents.

Is anybody else annoyed by this?   I am very tempted to change Sage so
that $ signs can be used as a synonym for backquotes in docstrings.  I
would leave backticks, but make it so $'s just get converted to
backticks, plus maybe some marker to leave $'s as $'s (e.g., whatever
one would currently do to enter a backtick in Sphinx).

   [ ] Yes, give me $'s!

   [ ] No, this doesn't bug me; let's keep ReST/Sphinx in Sage "pure".
