ASCII hyphens (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) in the option names (e.g. -x and
--extended) and the code examples in the man pages should be escaped
as \- (e.g. \-x and \-\-extended) to prevent them being converted to
Unicode hyphens in some environments.
For example, in openSUSE Tumbleweed, the raw ASCII hyphens in the
man-page sources are configured to be the Unicode hyphen (U+2010
HYPHEN). This makes it impossible to search the option name in the
man page by e.g. /--extended[RET]. A problem also arises in copying
and pasting option names and code examples from the man page. It
appears to be the normal ASCII hyphens by appearance (in typical
terminal fonts) but are not recognized as the ASCII hyphens by the
`fzf` command.
Favors the line with shorter matched chunk. A chunk is a set of
consecutive non-whitespace characters.
Unlike the default `length`, this new scheme works well with tabular input.
# length prefers item #1, because the whole line is shorter,
# chunk prefers item #2, because the matched chunk ("foo") is shorter
fzf --height=6 --header-lines=2 --tiebreak=chunk --reverse --query=fo << "EOF"
N | Field1 | Field2 | Field3
- | ------ | ------ | ------
1 | hello | foobar | baz
2 | world | foo | bazbaz
EOF
If the input does not contain any spaces, `chunk` is equivalent to
`length`. But we're not going to set it as the default because it is
computationally more expensive.

- Not the exact solution to --tiebreak=length not taking --nth into account,
but this should work. And the added benefit is that it works well even
when --nth is not provided.
- Adding a bonus point to the last character of a word didn't turn out great.
The order of the result suddenly changes when you type in the last
character in the word producing a jarring effect.
