i will ponder this
I believe that \- defines an *optional* hyphenation point. Specifying nothyphenated should not hyphenate, even at optional points. The author can otherwise use hyphenated and arrange to help the words get hyphenated at certain points.
Perhaps a new "optional" hyphenation point macro can be added that would have super-powers to override the align parameter. There would be no surprises using such a feature. We can't use \= unless we drop the \= being macros (anyone using that?)
We can also use \+ which currently is just "+" because it needs some value (sometimes it gets a local meaning).
So here is something to ponder:

\= macron accent (bar) should not be changed.
\-- is a good suggestion, like insisting, and should not get confused with -- (en dash).
Is there some problem to make it just another option. \enabledirectives[hyphenators.discretionary=hyphenated|nothyphenated] Wolfgang
