Worth noting in the commit message that this isn't just new Sphinx being picky about syntax -- the current docs actually misrender the intended footnote link literally: ...from the venv itself[#distlib]_. If no... It's a shame that the way the footnote syntax is defined means that you have to remember this awkward "\ " in the really common case of "footnote marker at end of word or sentence, and that the rST documentation's examples of footnote syntax contain only artificial examples and none where you need this.
