-- todo: hyphenate over range if needed

-- to be considered: reset dictionary.hyphenated when a pattern is added
-- or maybe an explicit reset of the cache

-- In an automated workflow hypenation of long titles can be somewhat problematic
-- especially when demands conflict. For that reason I played a bit with a Lua based
-- variant of the traditional hyphenation machinery. This mechanism has been extended
-- several times in projects, of which a good description can be found in TUGboat,
-- Volume 27 (2006), No. 2 — Proceedings of EuroTEX2006: Automatic non-standard
-- hyphenation in OpenOffice.org by László Németh.
--
-- Being the result of two days experimenting the following implementation is probably
-- not completely okay yet. If there is demand I might add some more features and plugs.
-- The performance is quite okay but can probably improved a bit, although this is not
-- the most critital code.
