Hyphens (-) in checklist item keys silently prevent checkboxes from being saved [#2880622]

* create a checklist with a check named 'foo-bar'
* check the check

Result: the check is not saved.
Expected: Either the check is saved or the system yells about a bad name (i'd prefer to be able to use '-'.)

Looks like this is a result of the internal foo_bar => fooBar name mangling.

Thanks for the report, @axel.rutz. As essentially a superset of the Form API, Checklist API was never intended to support hyphens in item keys. The problem you're experiencing may well, as you say, be in the string to lower camel case conversion that takes place. I haven't cracked the Drupal 7 code in a long time. Would you care to give the attached (hastily written) patch a try and see if it solves your problem for you?
