This means full backwards compatibility and "good looking" 8-bit LaTeX
sources at the expense of reduced configurability.
I can live with this, if we use output "---" via lib/unicodesymbols
0x2014 "--" "emdash" "notermination=text,force=armscii8" # EM
DASH
with the "emdash" feature re-binding
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{2014}{---}
if inputenc == "utf8" || inputenc == "utf8x".
+1 consistent handling of en- and em-dashes independent of input method.
+1 power-users can configure the behaviour (if using utf8) in the user
preamble.
For non-TeX fonts, the literal Unicode character wraps like the
"---"-ligature, so no change is required.
