StringLitExpression error for top level keys with dashes

[nkabir]

kcl version 0.11.0-alpha.1

file: demo1.k

"my-color" = "red"

kcl demo1.k generates 'StringLitExpression' is an illegal expression for assignment

file: demo2.k

{
"my-color" = "red"
}

kcl demo2.k generates

my-color: red

Literal strings cannot be used as identifiers, so they cannot be used as targets in assignment statements.

Are you asking how to use dashes in identifiers? This is not supported yet. If you write as my-color = "red", the dash will be confused with the minus sign.

Understood. But this works in the context of dictionaries. This is valid:

{
"my-color" = "red"
}

Are you asking how to use dashes in identifiers? This is not supported yet.

Yes. But it works if I place {} around the entire kcl file so it seems inconsistent.
