With text-quoting-style 'grave keeps "'" and "`" quotes unaltered
for further processing done by this code (regardless of locale...).
The tools that read the reStructuredText markup generated can do
their styling instead.
Added temporary conversions of ' and ` to \001 and \002 so that
's and `s outside of `...' and `...` are converted separately
('s restored back to ' and `s converted to \`).
Both `...' and `...` are finally "converted" to `...` (not ``...``).

that as `interpreted text`:
"The rendering and meaning of interpreted text is domain- or
application-dependent. It can be used for things like index
entries or explicit descriptive markup (like program identifiers)."
Which looks pretty much right.
- The first sentence should fit on the first line in full. This is
even the case when that causes the line to get a bit long. If it
gets very long, then it should be made shorter.
- Even even the second sentence would fit on the first line, if it
just provides some details, then it shouldn't be done.
- Symbols are quoted like `so'.
- There is no clear rule on how to (not) quote non-atomic
s-expressions, but quoting like '(this) is definitely weird.
- It is a good idea to remember that \" becomes " and to take
that in mind when adjusting the automatic filling by hand.
- Use the imperative form.
- Arguments are written in all uppercase.
This small library is intended to support batch extraction of Emacs
Lisp docstrings from source files. Clients will need to include (or
replace) rstdoc.rsti.
