You're welcome.

What would you use instead? en-dash?  The Texinfo manual says that
en-dash is used in numerical ranges, which is not what we want here.

And yes, GNU manuals use em-dash, although I don't know whether this
is mandatory.  The Texinfo manual, which is a de-facto standard for
GNU manuals, says to use em-dash.
