Let's say I'm writing an article on OOo Writer. I want to use em-dashes around a
parenthetical phrase, like so:

  Writer--still the better value--does have a small problem with word 
completion.

where the doubled ascii hyphens represent em-dash characters.

After I type the above sentence, Writer starts offering "Writer--still" as a
completion every time I type "Wri"--very distracting. I check the word
completion list, under Tools > AutoCorrect Options > Word Completion, and see
that Writer has collected two unusual "words": Writer--still and value--does.

I'm no writer, but as far as I know, there is no situation where an em-dash acts
as part of a word as a plain hyphen may do.
