That's certainly an example of how hyphens might gain meaning in Perl 6 names, but I don't think I can endorse it as a convention. People can't even use hyphens correctly in written English. I have very little faith that programmers will do any better in code, leading to the worst of all possible worlds: a convention that is confusing and employed incorrectly much of the time. -John
