+(based on those used in \*[tx])

+.P
+New requests permit finer control over hyphenation breaking;
+hyphenation of a word might be suppressed due to a limit on consecutive
+hyphenated lines
+.RB ( hlm ),
+a minimum line length threshold
+.RB ( hym ),
+or because the line can instead be adjusted with additional inter-word
+space
+.RB ( hys ).
+.
+A hyphenation language is selected with the

+.
+If no hyphenation language is set or no patterns are loaded,
+GNU

+will not perform automatic hyphenation.
+.
+The

+request assigns values to character codes such that they can be handled
+consistently by the hyphenation patterns,
+for instance by treating accented letters the same as their unaccented
+counterparts.
