Sad but true. I suspect folks with TeX background were so
accustomed to type three dashes to obtain em dash, but with AsciiDoc
(and asciidoctor), sadly, two dashes is a way to ask for em dash.
The changes in your patch look all reasonable to me at the source
level; I didn't do Documentation/doc-diff to verify, though.
Thanks.
