  aparently nim does not like dashes-in-the-filename.nim

  The filename of a module in Nim becomes the name of the module, so it must be a valid identifier.

  makes a lot of sense, once explained. TY! every program code therefore may become a module.

  some things may not be immediately obvious to a hello-world newbie ;)

  A little surprised that Nim doesn't allow it like this:

  
  import "dashes-in-the-filename" as dashes
  Run

  It would be a nice addition that uses the existing syntax.
