    Allow discretionary hyphens to override para style hyphenation rules

      ID CS4, but I'm pretty sure this is not related to version

      My standard paragraph style hyphenation is 'after 3' and 'before 3'. This works reasonably well. In some cases, however, I find that a long word (e.g. 'altogether') for which there is no acceptable hyphenation according to those rules*, prevents good spacing.

      In such cases, I'd like to be able enter a discretionary hyphen in the disabled area of the word (thus: 'al~together'), and so permit hyphenation at that point.

      Sometimes I wonder if it might not even be a good idea to also allow the document dictionary to override para style hyphenation.

      *Note: My hyphenation oracle is New Oxford Spelling Dictionary.
