While we do encourage simplicity in the sense of writing plain '-'
for hyphen-minus, soften the language a bit: writing \- for it is
not wrong, and people started sending us patches to replace \- with '-'
in existing manual pages, which is not a worthwhile change unless
the \- is used at a place where it doesn't belong.
