The documentation has many instances of ~-- which is used for the "m-dash".

Really? Because I didn't see any.

I saw a lot of (non-Creole) examples which used -- for strike through. My proposal, if it wasn't clear, was to use -- as em-dash and Euphoria comments, and switch to some other markup for strike through.

It's very annoying to write or read a post with the symbol -- striking out the rest of the text unintentionally.

See for example this post and this post. Now I know that I'm not the only person getting bit by this feature by forgetting to put a tilde before a double dash when what I want is a double dash. It's a very common idiom in internet fora.
