I think we are not communicating. I assume that the names introduced
via prefixes are constructed with underscores, not hyphens, so the
use of prefixed names solves the hyphenation problem. Right?

Prefix-introduced names don't cause namespace pollution because they are
under the control of the script author, who knows what names she is using.
