[Adding Markus]

Markus, this looks like an issue with the "handle function-like macros"
code that has your name on it.  The Sphinx folks think that functionality
can just be removed:

Do you agree?  We need to look at what they're saying about the :name:
directive as well; somehow I missed that when it first went in.
