The question isn't only how people interpret their files, but also how
their software interprets their files.
Is anyone here aware of anyone who uses a lone dash or dot or comma
heading for some other purpose? IOW, if future Org versions were to
treat it as having some special meaning, would it break backward
compatibility in practice?
So if you fold/select/delete/move/promote/demote/etc a section, it
processes not only all the subsections, but also all the following
lone-dash sections at the section's level. If you number sections,
lone-dash sections don't get numbers.
If you prefer the standard outliner behavior, then just never use
lone-dash sections.
To bikeshed the character, dash is commonly used in tree viewers to
indicate a folded heading (with plus sign for unfolded), so maybe a
different one is better for section continuation. For continuation,
comma would be more suggestive than period.
