there is in mkiv a mechanism for auto-break support
\setbreakpoints[compound]
currently + - / ( ) are supported but it's no big deal to handle more
characters too
however, i prefer to handle this all at once, so you (an others) need to
collect al relevant cases and provide examples
also, more complex hyphenation exceptions are possible in luatex;
currently we're experimenting with new dutch patterns but it's no
problem to support other languages as well
