It's a reasonable question, but it could cause horrendous problems
with TeX.  There is already special treatment of hyphens in various
contexts (monospaced font, URL's, etc.) and trying to support hyphens
in macro names could easily break in one of these contexts.  In fact,
digits are not even supported: only the 26 lower-case letters and 26
upper-case letters.
