Sometimes you need @racket[hyphenatef] to prevent unintended consequences. For instance, if you're using ligatures in CSS, certain groups of characters (fi, fl, ffi, et al.) will be replaced by a single glyph. That looks snazzy, but adding soft hyphens between any of these pairs will defeat the ligature substitution, creating inconsistent results. With @racket[hyphenatef], you can skip these words:
@margin-note{``Wouldn't it be better to exclude certain pairs of letters rather than whole words?'' Yes. But for now, not supported.}

It's possible to do fancier kinds of hyphenation restrictions that take account of context, like not hyphenating the last word of a paragraph. But @racket[hyphenatef] only operates on words. So you'll have to write some fancier code. Separate out the words eligible for hyphenation, and then send them through good old @racket[hyphenate].
