What's the bump in 2017? Did a iOS update start auto-correcting a bare "-" to "—" or something?

Looks like it auto-corrects -- to — https://glog.glennf.com/blog/2017/7/6/dash-dash-it-all from iOS 11

iOS currently converts "--" to "—". No clue when that started, though.

Submitted! Thank you for the encouragement.
