I suggest that, since this appeared in a code snippit to begin
with, it should have been written as:

  blah blah '(_.None,_,foo)' blah blah

in which case, the '_'s shouldn't have had any effect.
(If they did, it's a bug).

Note that the StructuredText underlining feature is 
widely considered a missfeature and probably won't be supported
in StructuredTextNG.

Maybe. I'd really prefer that this not be necessary. 
Maybe someone should add this escaping feature to the
StructuredText Wiki at 
http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/StructuredTextWiki/StructuredTextNG.
If you do, please suggest an escaping syntax. Please
think hard to come up with an escaping syntax that I don't hate. ;)
