In 2.7.16 they work fine in both class names and variables. I don't know about
facts, since I haven't written any.
Is this really a necessary or useful change? When one is dealing with services
and files that contain hyphens, it's quite annoying to have
class my_thing {
file { 'my-thing':
…
}
service { 'my-thing':
}
}
This will easily produce more human errors. What value is there in not
supporting hyphens?
