The idea would be for the dash to appear outside where normal data
appears:

	internal | RI_FKey_cas-| referential
	         ; cade_del    ;  integrity

If we don't allow a dash, I think wrapping on word boundaries will be
impossible because we can't guarantee no word breaks, and I think if we
sometimes word break we had better indicate that somehow.
