Summary: variables span or class yeild nested tag ugliness

Initial Comment:
If you cross-reference C code that has variable "span" the markup engine first puts 
<span class='reserved'>typedef</span>
and then the identifier markup turns that into
<<a href="...ident?i=span">span</a> class='reserved'>typedef</span>

If you have a program with all 3 of "span", "class" and "reserved" as variables, the results are particualrly special.

I've worked around this somewhat by hacking up Generic.pm with the following patch, but there are still a few
such instances leaking through...

  	   {

! 		   ( $index->issymbol($2, $$self{'releaseid'}) ? join($2, @{$$self{'itag'}}) : $2 );
    	 }gex;
  }
