In any case, what I see with emacs -Q (in Emacs 28.2)
is that the em dash, with no surrounding space chars,
seems to have the same width as all of the other
fixed-width chars. Hence it _appears_ as if it were
adjective "replace-provided". See attached screenshot.

Also, "lower case" is better as "lowercase".
