In python 3, backticks will not mean repr.

Every few months, someone suggests a new meaning for them.

This clarifies that they won't be reused at all.

Committed as rev. 53359. Had to fix the markup a bit.

Can anyone tell me how to include a lone backtick in a ReST `` `` block?

Just do it: "`````".  The meaning tends to get lost in the noise though.

What you did is fine, but you don't need the backslash-escape. reST is smart enough to realize that (`) is ` in parentheses.
