[OpenWrt-Devel] Using "-" in section names

Hi,

yes there is a reason, the initial uci implementation was shell based
and section names are part of generated variable names which must not
contain dashes.

Simply replacing dashes with underscores is not possible either as this
would lead to ambiguous results.
