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.

Isn't it rather just:
- dash escape nested -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- (et al)
- dash escape From
