[Groff] ASCII dash in UTF-8 locale

[Carsten Kunze]

Hello,

is there a way (except \N'45') to output an ASCII dash (0x2d) with nroff in an 
UTF-8 locale (i.e. without -T or with -Tutf8)?

I want to copy command lines from nroff output into a xterm, but the shell 
complains about the '-' which is not 0x2d.

E.g. mandoc(1) does output 0x2d for '\-' and even '-' which IMHO is better for 
manpages (to allow copiing text into the shell).
