I don't seem to be able to import a csv file that that has a dash in the header name.

I get the following error

Encountered " "-" "- "" at line 19, column 103.  
Was expecting one of:  
"}" ...  
";" ...  
"," ...  
"." ...  
"graph" ...  
"." ...

If I replace the dash with an underscore it works fine.

Stardog 7.2.0. Sorry for the crappy report. I'm in a hurry and just wanted to document it and get it out there.
