I have a list of objects with names like this: 'obj-0001', 'obj-0002'

need to set_stats with some data about these objects in the following
structure:
"data": {
"obj-0001": { "a": 1, "b": 2 },
"obj-0002": { "a": 3, "b": 4 }
}
They then can be referenced as data['obj-0001'].a
set_stats:
data:
'obj_0001': 5 # this works
'obj-0002': 6 # this does NOT work: the variable name
'obj-0002' is not valid
As far as I understand, there is no limitation on character set in keys
while they are accessed using quotes in brackets: data['obj-0002'].
There are limits as they are variables in Ansible.
From
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#creating-valid-variable-names
"Variable names should be letters, numbers, and underscores. Variables
should always start with a letter.
foo_port is a great variable. foo5 is fine too.
foo-port, foo port, foo.port and 12 are not valid variable names."
