Ah, yeah, makes sense that a habit ingrained in a place like that would stick
around.
But I still feel, after reading the stackexchange thread, that the hyphen
should be removed from messages emitted by groff software, which does not
follow the rules of pensions law; the hyphen is uncommon elsewhere to the
point that it will look wrong to most readers. Branden or Jakub are welcome
to weigh in on this as well.
