names.tex: Specify eclass names
Eclasses may export phase functions prefixed with their name, so
ideally we would follow the syntax of Bash (and POSIX) identifiers:
| A word consisting solely of underscores, digits, and alphabetics
| from the portable character set. The first character of a name is
| not a digit.
Because many existing eclasses have a dot or a hyphen in their name,
we follow usage in the Gentoo repository instead. (The only historical
exception to the above was 64-bit.eclass, not used since 2006 and
removed in 2009.)
An eclass must not be named "default", otherwise names of exported
functions would collide with default_<phase-function>.
