use spaced en-dash instead of spaced hyphen

I'm not sure if such patches dealing with punctuation style are welcome or not. I base my preference for dashes on English Wikipedia's Manual of Style:

Punctuating a sentence (em or en dashes)

Dashes are often used to mark divisions within a sentence: in pairs (parenthetical dashes, instead of parentheses or pairs of commas); or singly (perhaps instead of a colon). They may also indicate an abrupt stop or interruption, in reporting quoted speech. [...]

  • An em dash is unspaced (with no space on either side):
    • Another "planet" was detected—but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn.
  • An en dash is spaced (with a space on each side) when used as sentence punctuation:
    • Another "planet" was detected – but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn.
