From: Richard Purdie <richard.pur...@linuxfoundation.org> A dash character is illegal in function names in sh (but not bash). Since our shell tasks run under sh and the shell parser is sh based, EXPORT_FUNCTIONS won't work with class names containing a dash.
We can't change sh, we can ensure the user is warned about the problem straight away though.
