As others have noted, the long-term goal is to turn our disorganized
documentation hairball into something more approachable, maintainable, and
integrated; this is a step in that direction.

I take it you object to the ``literal quotes`` which render in a monospace
font?  That's the bulk of the changes there.  I can certainly take them
out if you really think "__bitwise" looks better than ``__bitwise``; it
will adversely affect the resulting pages, but so be it.
