I personally dislike any name with "_" or "-" in it, since I am stuck with 
different keyboard layouts and keep mistyping them. I even often find 
myself hitting <TAB> just to complete a _single_ "-", since the position 
of the <TAB> key is not wildly jumping around between different keyboard 
layouts.

So I can live without it.
