Currently, Casks names are constrained by the need to form
valid Ruby class names. This change enables a new syntax,
in which the first line of a Cask will read like
where
:v1
indicates the version of the DSL spec.The current PR merely converts such lines back to the old form
so the class name is still used behind the scenes, and the naming
limitation is still in effect in practice.
In upcoming months we will alter Casks/docs to use the new syntax,
and then change the backend code to remove the limitation.
Placing the DSL version in the header line means that #4870 would
not be needed.
