In rST markup syntax, the inline markup (*italics*, **bold** and
``monospaced``) must be separated from the surrending text by
non-word characters, otherwise it is not interpreted as markup.
To force interpretation as markup in the middle of a word,
you need to use a backslash-escaped space (which will not
appear as a space in the output).

Fix a missing backslash-space in this file, which meant that the ``
after "select" was output literally and the monospacing was
incorrectly extended all the way to the end of the next monospaced
word.

Apparently the single case (git-grep -E '``[^ ]+``[a-z]', other
are separated with '/').
