the root of this problem is that the hyphen "-" is an autocorrect trigger like
"." , "," , ":" , ";" , "space" and "enter"

that's why, even without wildcards you have a collision between <- and <--

it because when you type the last "-" of "<--" this triggers the "<-"
autocorrect.
basically typing <-- is like typing <-.  so that's why 

this "hyphen autocorrect trigger" issue is the cause of other autocorrect
collision which are described here: 

Bug 67364 - FORMATTING: Autocorrect no longer functions correctly when
replacing two hyphens if also an entry with three hyphens exists

Bug 81301 - "apply border" won't work because of "hyphen" to "en-dash"
autocorrect collision (nl-NL and nl-BE locales only) (edit)

the only way to avoid all these 3 bugs would be to tweak the code and add an
exception to the "hyphen autocorrect trigger thing" and use it as a trigger
only if preceded by letters, number or any other symbol rather than another
hyphen.

LibO already supports some kind of autocorrect exceptions like "Words with Two
Initial Capitals" or "Abbreviations (words with no subsequent capitalization"

so probably we should do something like "no autocorrect trigger after --"
I don't know if this is technically feasible... what's your opinion Lazlo?
