The case why this test was introduced is that stems like "-bar" and "foo-" are 
to be passed with the hyphen to the spellchecker in cases such as (German) 
"trink- und essbar" and "Feuerwhermänner und -frauen" (I don't have a good 
English example right now).

This means dashes are part of a word if there is "stuff" on their right _or_ 
their left and if this stuff is no further dash.
