Heh, I see in this case it's been requested at least 3 times before. Most of the discussion is on http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485 and is quite interesting - issues about when to convert to em-dash vs en-dash. The discussion seems to boil down to: everyone agrees that -- to em-dash is intuitive, but how do you then implement a syntax for en-dash for the few people who want it?

The answer to the unasked question ("is someone who cares reading this?") is yes; although I'd like to humbly point out that feature requests are so much easier to track when filed in the correct location.
That's fine, once I figure that a) the feature is desirable and b) there is some chance of it getting implemented, I'm more than happy to lodge a formal feature request for it.
