.B, .I disable hyphenation?

Hi Branden,

Usually, when a manual page highlights a term, either in bold or italics, it usually is a special identifier (macro, function, command name or argument), for which hyphenation can hurt readability and even worse, turn it into a different valid identifier.

What about disabling hyphenation for .B and .I?
Are there any inconveniences in doing so that I can't see?


Thanks,

Alex
