Have you tried using @option{--enable-auto-import} here? Please check
for all render forms (info, PDF, DVI, HTML) for whether they cope with
this correctly. The point is that '--' means a longer dash; see info

One way around that is to simply reword the sentence. Surprisingly
often that works quite well without making things sound too stupid.
E.g.:
The interested reader may refer to the @uref{...} and ... projects

Feel free to go ahead as you prefer.
