After some reading of sphinx documentation, it appears to be a bug with
sphinx (or actually, "smartypants") because it should not be doing this sort
of interpretation within a docstring. Anyway, supposedly the workaround is
to put double backticks around the part that needs to be treated literally:
``'--'``. I tried this out and built the docs locally and it works... sort
of. The text that is surrounded by double backticks are getting a different
background color. This doesn't look great to me. Maybe someone else has a
thought?
