Maybe we should replace it with underscore because with the current lexical rules I doubt it is possible to support subtraction using "1-2" and "mac-lte".

There is not advantage to  "-" over "_" and plenty of disadvantages.

At the very least, I think something should be changed with nas-eps and nas-5gs, because all the fields in those two dissectors use underscores for filters ("nas_eps") but the protocols themselves use hyphens. ("nas-eps"). Mildly breaking change, but if 4.0 is the next release it's the time to do it.
