I explicitly said in comment 2 what the reason is for the patch.  People will
write stuff like "I like http://example.com/path/―do you?" with an unspaced em
dash, and the autolinking will go too far.  We already stop autolinking at
spaces and brackets, there's no reason not to add a few more characters to the
list.

Of course, you can always use brackets instead of a free link.  But that goes
both ways: if you have a URL that contains a dash and is parsed incorrectly
with the change, you can always use square brackets to make the link work.  The
question is, will the change correctly guess more or fewer URLs than at
present?
