While I'm not sure how far back you'd have to go to find an asciidoc
that does need this escaping, it's definitely *not* a typo.  In some
instances, -- turns into em dashes.

If you are seeing stray backslashes in the output (I don't), I suspect
you are either running asciidoc 8.x but forgot to set ASCIIDOC8, or
8.4.1+ and are missing the patch 71c020c (Disable asciidoc 8.4.1+
semantics for `{plus}` and friends, 2009-07-25).
