I took a quick look at the patch this evening and although the
idea is OK, the implementation has some problems.

 - Problems with several dashes in a row, e.g. if you have a line
   like this,

   foobar -------------------------------------------------- foobar

   then everything after the first foobar will disappear...

 - The adjacentDashes variable is of type UInt8 and is increased
   everytime a dash is encountered, but the only check is if this
   variable is more than zero or not, i.e. it more or less works
   like a boolean variable, so why not use a boolean variable?

 - You never save the current height.

BTW, I don't think it should be that difficult to solve the case
when the dash is the first token in a word -- just check if the
previous token was a space or if the dash is the first token on
the line.
