What is the rationale for Identifier regex expression to not allow - in the name

Question

Hi, is there a rationale for not allowing dashes(-) in the identifier name?

"Identifiers can only contain the following characters: a-zA-Z_0-9"

We're evaluating the usage of this tool at Delivery Hero, and most of our identifiers use dash, and would be significantly easier for us if we could continue using what we have.

I don't remember to honest, but I suspect it's because a-zA-Z_0-9 is the equivalent of \w. 😀

Alright, I can evaluate to create a PR for fixing it if that is ok.

I've added support for - characters, which will be in the next release.
