No, you cannot, since using \- is not an advice that
has been introduced by you (even though you may have
advised it). Proper manual pages have used \- since
Unix 7th edition at least. Moreover, they have often
used regular or bold font for command line examples.
I would recommend to map \- to U+002D for all output
devices that use ASCII codes.
