Why not, but this would be somewhat obscure for the average user who
would have to identify and then set this option in all documents...

The \-- extension is kind-of nice, obscure in its own way but good
functionally. The risk is of users confusing this with the en ligature,
something that unicode users avoid...

Maybe implement both solutions (setup affecting \- as well as \--) in
Context?
