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.
