Description

the cli syntax does not allow a dash in an identifier, which means that it is impossible to connect to a hostname such as foo-bar.com.
It also forbids it in keyspace and column family names while it seems they are both supported by cassandra itself.

Adding "" as an allowed "identifier" character seems to fix both problems. I think the grammar is still broken in that it allows "" in hostnames, but that seems a non issue.
