Also, as Liam mentions, some people want the whole hyphen to hang, others only part of it... it gets complicated with Western hanging. ^_^ If there are clearer use cases and requirements, we might consider this for Level 4, however. The 'first' and 'last' values are still useful for hanging quotes, though! ~fantasai
