Naming convention for services cannot include _ or - / didn't see it mentioned in docs

[hoIIer]

Hello,

I am using compose in microservice setup and it would be ideal to have service names such as "service-one", "service_two" etc but apparently that is not allowed and also I didn't see it in the docs...

Example of how I used it currently which shows service names mushed together

contentservicedb:
  image: postgres:latest
contentservice:
  extends:
    file: ../content/docker-compose.yml
    service: web
  links:
    - contentservicedb

usersservicedb:
  image: postgres:latest
usersservice:
  extends:
    file: ../users/docker-compose.yml
    service: web
  links:
    - usersservicedb

gatekeeperservice:
  image: clusterhq/twisted

Just wondering if it will ever be possible to include hyphen or underscore for this use case...

Thanks!

my more or less educated guess is that in the next release both character will be valid as compose will handle containers via labels.
