    `` encloses a role. There is a default role, else :<role>:`text`

    _ in front, is the special target role. For one word the backtick can be dropped.

    _`__init__` should produce a target named "__init__".

But instead the produced target is "init".
The backtick avoids ambiguity. There is no need for this behavior.
