Uhm, no.  As Alexandre Oliva observed a couple of days ago in
<orpv2kvakl.fsf@saci.lsd.dcc.unicamp.br>, the current syntax isn't
powerful enough to determine whether a header includes bar@baz,
foo-bar@baz, both, or neither.  As it stands, mail sent only to
foo-bar@baz gets treated as if it were also sent to bar@baz because
`-' is classified as a word separator.
