Bug #16213: Dashes in class names are illegal. So the compiler should complain
about them!

Target version:
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords:
Branch:
class abc-def($var) {
notice("$abc-def::var")
}
class {
abc-def: var => 'hi';
}
does what a naive user might expect up through 2.7.14 (Scope(Class[Abc-def]):
hi). After that, it does what a more experienced user might expect
(Scope(Class[Abc-def]): -def::var). Adding braces:
class abc-def($var) {
notice("$abc-def::var")
}
class {
abc-def: var => 'hi';
}
still does what a naive user expects on 2.7.14, but gives an error on 2.7.16
and higher.
However, in all of those versions, that class name itself is illegal -
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/modules1.html#an-aside-names-namespaces-and-scope
Classes with dashes in them should be disallowed by the parser. At least in
3.0.x. And they should trigger a warning in 2.7.x since (a) they don't really
work and (b) they'll be disallowed in 3.0.x.
