Summary:                    please allow for hyphens in function and macro names
Description: 
Given that cmake only allows for function invocation and not arithmetic, you can
support hyphens without an issue for functions also, in addition to existing
support in variable names.

Hyphens are easier on the eyes, fingers, and promote more descriptive names.
Camel case is even worse than underscores, make eyes bleed.

Steps to Reproduce: 
define and try to invoke a function with a hyphen in it.
