No, but to be more "correct" it shouldn't be that open-ended. For
example, it really should be a regexp that only allows a dash followed
by digits (and then nothing after). Not hard, but if forgotten, it
could yield misleading results. Perhaps it's more the "feel" of it that
bothers me, and once this path is taken, there is no going back.
