This must be checked against older asciidocs to verify that it does
not turn the unescaped sequence -- into an em-dash.  The \-- traces
back to e1ccf53 ([PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash
replacement, 2005-09-12), which indicates that it _was_ a problem in
the past.  (The asciidoc 8.2.5 on my system does not use an em-dash in
either case.)

ACK on all single-dash cases though, which are indeed wrong and were
apparently introduced later in 8089c85 (git-commit: add a
prepare-commit-msg hook, 2008-02-05).
