Not sure that is correct, rather there is no difference in the "--" replacement
as 'en-dash' (U+2013) when used between characters or numbers. I just verified
that is true with current master in Writer, Calc and Impress.

Looking in source, can't find a use of the U+2014 'em-dash' for auto-correction
of two dashes. We do pick up em-dash in a few locales for edit-shell. 

And otherwise provide an 'emoji' style "::"  auto-correction, i.e. entry o
":---:"  becomes '—' (U+2014)
