Let me modify that.  I just tried a few combinations with PGP and it
dash escapes leading '-', and 'From ' but pretty much nothing else.

So to describe existing behavior we could say:

- dash escape leading '-'
- dash escape 'From '

and that's it.

I disagree.  Tomorrow will bring some other thing that needs to be
protected against modification.  A single rule that "anything may be
dash-escaped" is simpler and more general than two specific rules.
