--- Comment #9 from Simo Kaupinmäki <[email protected]> ---
A little off-topic, but looking at the replacement table linked in comment 8,
it occurred to me that there is another potential issue with one of the
patterns listed:

A --B (A, space, minus, minus, B)

The automatic replacement of the double minus may cause confusion if somebody
tries to type instructions for command-line interface, e.g.:

dpkg --help

A command like this will of course not work if the double minus is replaced by
an en dash.

I realize that this is a marginal user case and that there may, on the other
hand, be people who will find this pattern useful, but the effect may sometimes
be unexpected and frustrating. (This is why I personally tend to disable all
autocorrection features. I prefer to stay in control of what I type.)
