This is an "undesired" orthographic convention in some languages and
"desired" in others. For example in Polish, if you hyphenate a compound
word such as "zielono-niebieski" at the hyphen, the result should look
like the following:
zielono-
-niebieski

This behavior should be controlled on the language level (probably in
packages such as Polyglossia) rather than globally.
