One has to be careful with this.  In the literal context (Ql, Li, etc)
the ascii minus-hyphen in the input is preserved as such.  In other
contexts you will get a math minus sign in PS/PDF output, or groff
UTF-8 text output, which makes man page not copy-pastable.  And wide
(about the size of en-dash) minus sign looks rather ugly in non math
contexts like 02:00 CST (−06) in PS/PDF.
