But replacing emdashes — which are a distinct character that has no direct replacement in ASCII and which people do *deliberately* use instead of hyphen-minus — does not. Perhaps stick to those two, and any cases where an emdash or endash has been used where U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS *should* have been used. And please fix your cover letter which made no reference to 'grep', and only presented a completely bogus argument for the change instead.
