the usual default so far in latex is that monospace fonts have
hyohenation disabled, although that
isn't always what is wanted, certainly.

yes we were discussing in chat whether verb should do that. babel has
a `none` language already set up for that
but the format doesn't normally assume babel. It would be possible to
use an unallocated language slot actually
in internal code (\count19+1 is the next language that would be
allocated) or we could allocate as you suggest.

You could, at least to give a URL to reference in any change, although
Will is on this list so has seen this already:-)
