Assuming that we allow Unicode characters in variable names in the
future also, then dashes like `–' are OK, but the ASCII hyphen-minus
character `-' is not.  To take another step forward, by using
Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (which start at Unicode U+1D400), it
is currently possible to write

  theme𝟑𝟐–𝟔𝟒

but I doubt whether this is a good idea since it is both error prone
(due to the possible mix-up with normal digits) and difficult to type.

We definitely need TeX's \csname command:-)
