Indeed.

Thank you for the patch. A few remarks below.

You need to add TINYCHANGE at the end of the commit message.

The new regexps still don't look right, as they can match an additional
dash:
(string-match "---\\([^-]?\\)" "----") => 0
I'm not sure about the intent of this regexp, that is whether
consecutive mdashes or ndashes are allowed or not.
A correct version could be either:
("---" . "—")
or
("\\([^-]\\|^\\)---\\([^-]\\|$\\)" . "\\1—\\2")
I think the former is on par with LaTeX behaviour.
What do you think?
