The original text used '--', which produced en-dash instead. (Stefan
fixed that since then.)

That has changed, since we nowadays by default use UTF-8 encoding in
our Info manuals. With that, '---' produces the Unicode em-dash
character, displayed as a wide dash, and '--' produces a Unicode
en-dash character, displayed as somewhat more narrow dash (but still
wider than the ASCII dash).
