Research direction

Start with Transcrypt's handling of the pragma('js', '{}', 'babylon-htmlmesh;') entry point and compare it with the generated export var api = babylon - htmlmesh; output. Reproduce the translation and verify that accessing the hyphenated JavaScript library no longer produces the spaced subtraction expression.

Description

Hi,

I am trying to integrate a Javascript library whose name is 'babylon-htmlmesh'. As you can see, the name of the library includes '-' character. I found that Transcrypt mistranslated it adding a space character to both sides of '-' character.

python .py file:

api = __pragma__('js',
    '{}',
    'babylon-htmlmesh;'
)

Transcrypted .js file:

export var api = babylon - htmlmesh;

Note that '-' became ' - ' after Transcrypted above.
Because of the added spaces, Javascript raises an error.

How can I access a javscript library whose name includes '-' in Transcrypt?

Thanks in advance.
