Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Prevent line breaking after explicit hyphens (#3434)

A perfect example of why one would want non-breaking dashes, is in my README for [`sails-react-bootstrap-webpack`](https://github.com/neonexus/sails-react-bootstrap-webpack).

This is likely time-sensitive, as I update this repo constantly. So, for documentation purposes, this is what my markdown code looks like:

```markdown
### Environment Variables used for remote servers:
| Variable   | DEV default          | PROD default            | Description
|------------|----------------------|-------------------------|----------------------
| ASSETS_URL | "" (empty string)    | "" (empty string)       | Webpack is configured to modify static asset URLs to point to a CDN, like CloudFront. MUST end with a slash " / ".
| BASE_URL   | raw:https://my‑api.app   | raw:https://my‑api.app      | The address of the Sails instance.
| DB_HOST    | localhost            | localhost              | The hostname of the datastore.
| DB_USER    | root                 | produser               | Username for the datastore.
| DB_PASS    | mypass               | myprodpassword         | Password for the datastore.
| DB_NAME    | myapp                | proddatabase           | The name of the database inside the datastore.
| DB_PORT    | 3306                 | 3306                   | The port number for datastore.
| DB_SSL     | false                | false                  | If the datastore requires SSL, set this to "true".
```

But having dashes in my URL causes said URL's to display incorrectly; as they are broken up on multiple lines. This is NOT what I want, and there is little recourse for me to fix this... I HATE having links broken up, simply because of a stupid dash. CAN WE PLEASE FIX THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??
