I am concerned this will cause misformattings and inability to search
for options with leading dashes on some systems - I don't recall
versions, but I do know that some systems used some sort of Unicode
(soft?) hyphen for a simple non-escaped MINUS character (ASCII 0x2B).

So, for the release/2.3 branch, NAK for now, and more questions on the
2.4/trunk.

My objections will be void the moment that we can be sure that those
(major) distributions that played with the Unicode outside-ASCII hyphens
in *roff have gone out of support, and supported versions no longer
modify the plain ASCII minus, but render it verbatim.
