Most of the time, hyphenation is 'just' inserting a dash. But not always.

For Dutch breaking botsautootje is correct like bots-autootje and botsauto-tje, the latter one by modificating the word. The same happens in words like geïnd, which should be hyphenated(presented) as ge-ind.

I can think of two ways to handle these situations :
1) stopping the hyphenations at these locations (simple but not elegant)
2) modifying the word during hyphenation, but keeping the 'normal' form for recovery while editing the text (elegant but difficult).

Is modification of a word while hyphenating it already supported in some way?
If not, is it somwhere in the feature request list or planning?

Could anyone please inform me on this topic? I would like to know before investing effort in starting recalibration of the Dutch hyphenation, which could be necessary because rules for compounding have changed.

Thanks.
