I don't think this is a good idea. First I assumed that "--" can be
replaced by either an en- or em-dash.

Reading bug 432339 I see this is what makes a translation invalid.
The proper solution would be to add special prefix characters outside
of the translation. If it's not allowed to translate it why mark it
translatable?
