This contribution is excellent, thanks!
However, justified text which is the case in most papers/articles/etc most
frequently introduce hyphenation, I think having few false positives (if this
change would apply to hyphens) justifies the expected high number false
negatives when ommitting hyphens: it's just much more likely that a word is
"di-vided" (and all of them would still be ommitted) than searching for two
independent hyphenated words, such as one-third.
Not asking to make it default, but based on that, could you please give that
option so users are able to omit endline hyphens? That would help some of us
greatly
