I've forgotten why we map dash to underscore myself.  I'm in the 
unfortunate position of having a domain name with a dash in it and I'd kind 
of a hassle to deal with the mapping.  My bitbucket repo has a dash for 
example but when I clone it I have to remember to change the name of the 
dir under applications to an underscore.  I knew and understood why we do 
this at one time but I've slept since then and appear to have forgotten it 
all...
