The feature may already exist.
Hyphenation doesn't apply to East Asian scripts, but breaking does.

The remaining values were implemented for East Asian language
support; those who use alphabetic scripts exclusively can disregard
them.
'128'
Prohibit a line break before the character, but allow a line
break after the character. This works only in combination
with flags 256 and 512 and has no effect otherwise.
Initially, no characters have this property.
'256'

'512'
Allow line break before or after the character. This works
only in combination with flags 128 and 256 and has no effect
otherwise. Initially, no characters have this property.
In contrast to values 2 and 4, the values 128, 256, and 512 work
pairwise. If, for example, the left character has value 512, and
the right character 128, no break will be automatically inserted
between them. If we use value 6 instead for the left character, a
break after the character can't be suppressed since the neighboring
character on the right doesn't get examined.
