Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 On further reflection, I've decided that replacing {{{``}}} with {{{"}}}
 is a bad idea.  It's complicated, and it can make some docstrings less
 clear.  For example, should {{{``"text"``}}} be turned into {{{"text"}}}
 or {{{"'text'"}}}?  What about {{{``algorithm="gap"``}}}: turn it into
 {{{"algorithm='gap'"}}}?  What about (from sage.interfaces.sage0.Sage) the
 beautiful {{{``s('"x"')``}}}?

 If we eventually decide this is a good idea, we can do it in another
 ticket (or submit it as a possible customization for text output in
 Sphinx), but I'm taking it out for now.

 A few doctests in sage and sagenb need to be changed as a consequence; see
 the new patches.
