[BRLTTY] Contraction error and patch: in hyphen com

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi folks,

Consider the sentence (read in grade 2 using en-us-g2.ctb):

He was in--completely in.

Now the almost identical sentence:

He was in - completely in.

The difference is that the first sentence contains two hyphens whereas
the second has space hyphen space.

There's a rule in the table making "in space hyphen space" translate
as "in hyphen hyphen." The attached patch adds "in space hyphen space
com".

The only thing I can't do via the contraction table is handle the case
where there's a line break in there. "He was in (newline) hyphen space
completely in." I tried adding "after \r" and "after \n" but neither
works.

Anyway, I believe this is a bit better than it was.

Have fun,
