Yes you do .. you worked on the code that translates these names :)
The story here is: the file basename is used as a top level
module name, and it must be a valid Felix and C++ identifier.
There is a piece of code in the compiler which 'mangles'
these names to valid ones, replacing '-' with
_hyphen_
for example .. looks like the 'Initial character is
a digit' case was missed.
You also don't want to call your file 'goto.flx' because
goto is a keyword. The mangler is supposed to translate
keywords too.
