The idea would be for the dash to appear outside where normal data
appears:

internal | RI_FKey_cas-| referential
; cade_del ; integrity

If we don't allow a dash, I think wrapping on word boundaries will be
impossible because we can't guarantee no word breaks, and I think if we
sometimes word break we had better indicate that somehow.
