Object literal accessors ([gs]etters) are restricted to function literal names (ie. "fooBar" is valid, but "foo-bar" is not). There is currently no way at all in WebKit to use other names in object literals. I think WebKit should implement something along the lines of Mozilla's syntax for object literal accessors: {'property-name string' [gs]etter:function () {...}}

This is non-standard, and not widely used so there's no compatibility reason to support the syntax. If you really feel the need for this you should suggest it on the ecmascript mailing list
