Regarding AssetsTemplate.swift at line 69, I believe the behavior of removing hyphens (-) and underscores (_) using swiftIdentifier:“pretty” is as intended.

A variable name with a hyphen would cause a compile-time error, and including an underscore goes against Swift’s guidelines, which is likely why it’s implemented this way.

For this issue, I think a valid option would be to not make any changes and leave correction to users. (Perhaps a different approach could be to log a warning message when a filename contains characters that are invalid or not recommended.)
