Sphinx transforms ``--`` into an en-dash within a paragraph (not within
a code, pre, or kbd block though). This presents a problem documenting
command parameters such as ``--name`` where the ``--`` is transformed
into a single en-dash. Rather than disabling all smartquote
transformations in the Sphinx conf.py (setting ``smartquotes = False``),
we fixes cases where ``--`` should not be transformed by using a block
that is ignored by the smartquote transformation.
