Support for C++

[shimizukawa]

Sphinx is a fantastic product, kudos!

However, it is really coupled to Python. I've started using it with a C++ project and although I'm using "." instead of "::" for scope and Python3-style method declarations [i.e. foo(bar:string) -> string], it has poor support for "const" methods, and "const&" parameters.

I'd like the markup to be more tolerant, or provide explicit support for these situations.

Other nice features would be support for templates, but that might be more work!

This is already implemented (don't know about templates) in the C++ domain in the domains branch. See http://dev.pocoo.org/~gbrandl/sphinx-domains/domains.html#id1 for details.

Basically, in the domains branch (which will become 1.0), every computer language can (and will, once contributed) have its own object description constructs (like ".. lang:function::") supporting a syntax appropriate for that language.

Wow, nice! Looks like a clean solution, too!
