[Framers] Non-breaking en, em dashes

[Lin Sims]

The minus sign is too short.

Well, maybe I should talk to my coworker about that. The place I last
worked mandated use of an en-dash to indicate a negative number. We may not
do that here, although I think it's a good idea since it makes it a little
easier to distinguish between a minus sign and the sign indicating a
negative number.

In any case, having the behaviour return to keep together if there's no
space between en/em-dashes and the following number would be nice.
