Note "user-defined" above: all the other names you mentioned are
part of JJB's own grammar for defining jobs, so we couldn't change
them even if we wanted to.

Perhaps I should have expanded the "help us out later" bit in the
commit message to explain that this is not a gratuitous change
made just to satisfy my craving for consistency[1]: while JJB is
okay with user variables having dashes is them, Ansible is very
much not, and if you look ahead to patch 06/12 you'll see why
keeping the existing name would just not work - hence this patch.


[1] Though I'll admit I'm absolutely not above doing that ;)
